White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter.
"Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

To be quiet is to acquiesce to these Nazis.
For our part, we need to continue to peacefully protest, boycott, organize, pressure our Congressional reps & protect the fck out of our Constitution.
it is up to cbs abc cnn nyt wsj to boycott the briefings
I actually don't necessarily expect that
And don't expect straight news side to do that
NYT subscribers might be wrong about lots of things
NYT publisher should exercise good judgment on this issue even if it's contrary to what most subscribers want and outside his own comfort zone
The latest lie is…
They falsely claimed…
It would be easy
All the fact based press should boycott this WH.
I personally will cease to watch, read or listen to any company that obeys this WH demand.
And I guarantee you these WH salami tactics against the press will not end until they have a press that behaves like that of North Korea.
Appeasement doesn't work.
It _should_ be, to be clear, but still.
Barron. I bet they pick Barron.
They're going to shut down press conferences just like they did in Mr. tRUMP's first term. I give it 30 days.

How communist of you,
What a Bimbo...
We are moving closer to the WH press corp becoming Trump State Media. A dangerous situation.
Buttonmouth: It's a secret, so fuck off.
It’s just propaganda anyways

What are you going to ask a dementia patient? He doesn't understand. He can't answer. He keeps repeating the point stuck in the solidifying cartilage in between his ears
Good work press corps.
Hard to say they don't deserve this.
If no one goes they can’t lie to the American public!
Deprive them of the glory they seek!
The press needs to grow some bulls and boycott all events until the AP is back!
The dictator has spoken.
