But a letter signed by 40 outlets and organized by the White House Correspondents’ Association implored the White House to lift the ban

So, what are they going to do if he doesn't obey. Talk bad about him?
Or not show up for the WH briefings?
Screw 'em. Nothing will change.

“I think it is about being on record supporting AP for when a Democrat is elected and does a “payback” banning.“

I don’t think that’s it at all. They are just in the same club. It’s as simple as that. All AP has to do is call it the Gulf of America. If Biden done it they would have been the first. But noo.

Anyone paying attention knows that FOX jumped the shark a long time ago. They are MAIN STREAM.

"Kaitlyn Collins is trying to be the next Jim Acosta."

With her whining, sniveling questions, CNN's Kaitlyn Collins will soon be treated like paint on the wall by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Not really a surprise at all. This is just understanding the handwriting, if “they” can be banned so can “we”, and “we” don’t like that idea. It’s called enlightened self interest.

Urinalists FIRST, Americans second.

Just like AP did, FAFO.

Has anybody called out AP for not changing to Gulf of America? Including Fox and Newsmax?

Yup—one of the greatest skills of President Trump is that he forces our enemies to show their hands.

Banning AP will potentially violate AP’s Fifth Amendment right to due process. See Sherrill v Knight 569:F.2d 124. Also see Southeastern Promotions v. Conrad, 420 U.S. 546 pertaining to the press and the First Amendment.

It would be a much stronger position for Trump to reinstate the AP press credentials and completely ignore them.

"IF TRUMP IS FORCED: SEAT THEM AT THE BACK ROW OF THE ROOM-—AND NEVER CALL ON THEM."

If some TDS-metastasized leftist judge thinks he has the authority to decide who is admitted into the White House Press Room, he needs to be severely chastised by a higher court, then impeached, convicted, and disbarred.

I would have let AP stay, I just wouldn’t call on them much. If I did call on them, and they said GOM instead of GOA, I would say that “First I will get to your question after I correct you and say it is now GOA.” Then I would ignore their question and call on someone else.
