Please kick them out of the White House and give them a different building nearby.

Unfortunately, as Drudge reported this morning, Trump has acquiesced to the demands from the MSM that they stay in the WH.

Reuters reports: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.

For me, this is disheartening and a BIG mistake. The opportunity to remove the elitist status of ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo from their lofty, privileged perch is at hand. They have demonstrated their dishonesty and are undeserving of representing a free press.

In this digital age, there is no need for the press to have a physical presence in the WH. Trump should move them out of the WH to a larger space where more of the (honest) media outlets can have space and equal access. No more "front row" status for ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo.

If Trump waits, gets burned again and then moves them out (and you know that will happen), it will appear to be way more vindictive than it will if he does it now.

This is the key phrase.....DJT will fill the room with who he wants and freeze out the troublemakers and the whiners with "the room just isn't big enough for everyone meme as a cover story, then respond to the complaining with the phrase, "We tried to address this the week before i took the oath of office but the media just seem to think it was a problem then."
