"We are writing to inform you that the WHCA Board has voted this evening to remove a news outlet from the rotation for a seat in the briefing room. We did this because a report for this outlet twice attended press briefings in contravention of this policy. ... We do not take this action lightly. This is a matter of public safety."

As I understand camera people generally are also assigned but have to stand in the back or along side.
Look... I understand Oann’s popularity here and I watch it too. But she was out of compliance to the agreed on measures regarding seating and standing during these briefings as well as her distancing.
Has nothing to do with her tone or questions. If it had been Acosta standing there we’d be all over him for breaking the rules.
..
What is it about the incorrect premise that you don’t understand???
She was standing in the corner BECAUSE OF THE MSM SHENANIGANS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Why are you so obtuse?
The WHPC could not be more hostile to the President. He should break them , invite OWNN to the front row every day along with other conservative media and send Jim Acosta to somewhere cold and dark. Why not just nuke the media that so hates this country?
Supply them all with masks and gloves ( mandatory) and put a large plexiglass shield up between reporters and those giving the meeting.
Did they do this to seem even handed? Throw a conservative out occasionally so people can’t say they’re after liberals only?
Few TV channels are even showing the briefings live any more. They show a few sound bites framed in a way to make the President look bad, even if their framing is completely dishonest, then they spend hours discussing their framework.
Maybe there would be more questions actually seeking information and fewer (or none) challenging something said weeks ago in this fast- moving crisis.... the type being asked of Cuomo in a respectful way during his briefings.
From Diamond and Silk!
The networks who refuse to show President Trump’s Virus Briefings SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SEND THEIR JOURNALISTS TO SAID BRIEFINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Groucho, is that you? I thought you was dead...
OANN is the only news outlet doing real investigative reporting.
If anyone paid attention the Bidens and a lot of others would be in jail.
If consecutive visits are a reason for dismissal, why have we seen John Roberts from Fox News there for the last three days in a row?
trump should just ignore this and invite the person as his guest
remove this group from control of the rotation....this should be the press secretary’s job. when they complain and they will. the press secretary should issue a statement that says this organization is not a governmental agency so they don’t have the authority to decide who attends press meetings.
Gee, I wonder if any of the other outlets have reported “fake news.” EVER, IF NOT ALWAYS.
Ordinarily, I would say OANN should fix and apologize, and I dislike the “He does it, so can I” defense, but this is the WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS.
Don’t go, Chion, DON’T GO.
OANN should sue. It worked for Jim Acosta.
Yes, We who watch OANN have a very different view of the world than those who do not.
We see and hear original footage of current events.
We see and hear the results of investigative journalism.
The rest of the country is hearing Rachel Maddow’s opinions and criticisms or press releases from the Democrats and their entrenched globalist federal bureaucracies.
She’s wearing a scarf, so it’s okay. Hermes, I think.
the real news is just sitting there waiting to be reported.
Exactly! That's what makes it even worse. At least the left HAS to invent crap because they have no argument other than demolishing straw men that they create. For OAN the only excuse is laziness + clickbait.
