SCOOP: The White House plans to impose its own seating chart for reporters in the briefing room in coming weeks, taking over a function long managed by the reporters themselves through the White House Correspondents' Association.

WH Corresps Assoc clearly intimidated by unconstitutional threats & orgs like ABC & a few large law firms SURENDERED to unconstitutional threats while other BRAVE orgs & law firms battle On Their Own. America MUST have more patriotist fearless organizations & citizens or we will loose EVERYTHING.
Good thing the cowards running the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner pulled the scary black woman who was probably going to openly mock the president.
Clearly, appeasing a wannabe autocrat has worked well for them /s.
Again,this is a time for opportunistic Dems to serve up an alternative menu of information with daily oppo briefings. No seating charts, fresh storylines & takes. Grab back some of the narrative while Trump hoards all the balls&bats on his playing field. Serve up stories and they will come.
What would happen if the mainstream media didn’t turn up, instead focused its criticism on the news generated by Trump’s preferred media to lead the opposition against the Trump regime ie, act as the Fact Check media that’s needed most
I try to be as understanding as possible, and I firmly believe free press is a critical support for democracy, but if the media is not going to fulfill their role and simply act like little kids that don't want to make daddy mad, then they shouldn't be surprised getting a kindergarten seating chart
Control, control, control. Whether through outright lies, disobeying norms, breaking the law—they’ll do whatever they can get by with. Absolutely corrupt!
If a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound? Or: If the White House has a press conference and no mainstream media attend whose outlets reach tens of millions of people, did a press conference actually happen? WH press corps, please grow some "balls."
1st: Note the source here: A Trump senior White House official. So, a LIAR by profession.
2nd: This is @axios.com - a Trump propaganda machine that NOBODY should trust.
3rd: #WHCA White House Correspondents' Association's recent shameful actions are why people will believe this made-up shit.
I noticed, but then I got to this part “The goal isn't merely favorable coverage” and that told me there will be further changes, because now I’m convinced the goal is favourable media coverage.
They’ll just change it in stages until they have exclusively favourable media coverage. Trumpisms.
which means anything coming out of those sycophantic blow job sessions with the mendacious malignant idiot bleach blond barbie bimbo bitch nazi will just be drivel and bullshit - so why bother attending @ all?
When will the White House Correspondents Association do something (like boycotting press briefings and other events) about the persistent attacks on themselves from this administration? The White House should not control who reports on them. Access is worthless when all they do is lie to you.
The press is caving to Trump! Law firms caved! Some Democrats in Congress caved by voting for Trump’s unqualified nominees! Just who is going to represent the people and our Constitution against this dictator????
There needs to be a boycott on this BS. Create their own daily live briefing on the facts to combat this BS. The should partner with @factcheck.org and also do a weekly live fact check briefing.
Serious journalist should boycott and let his enablers toast themselves with a nice big refreshing glass of Kool-Aid. It’s what Jim Jones. Errr. I mean Trump would want anyhow.
This story is an embarrassment for Axios. Letting an anonymous White House source describe these plans with their own spin and without pushback. And Axios benefits from the seating.
The real jaw-drop is the trial balloon about having the WH press secretary serve as president of the WHCA. If you need proof that the Washington press corps is comically docile/corrupt, there it is. Absolutely disgusting.
So Axios is obviously drooling because they are mentioned as one of the possible “winners” in this sniveling obsequious article about access to the press room. Any media outlet with a soul should avoid these nazi propaganda sessions anyway.
The predominate pro-Trump ambassadors in America are the strategically aligned U.S. Mainstream Media and Press Corporations, Techbros, and MAGA Politicians who have empowered all of his crimes, lies, and both of his presidencies
