Trump's team considers moving White House press room

ModerateGOP said:
Oh yes. Let's welcome Breitbart and Russia TV to take up the most room. Matt Drudge and Infowars too, then give the remaining seats to Fox News and ABC News. That will go over well.

Did anyone mention Breibart? Oh, you did. Matt Drudge rarely publishes any news. Infowars isn't mentio0ned either. This is a failed attempt at some point I guess. CNN is there and they are the number one purveyor of fake news. I am all for more transparency. You aren't. I bet you are as long as they are media that you and the left approves of.

You said let's have more diversity. Why else would he want more room? Maybe it's to include some different press outlets that haven't been in there before. You know the ones HE likes and links to? You people are so naive.

You answered your own question while asking me a question? "Maybe it's to include some different press outlets that haven't been in there before." What is wrong with more?

I gave some examples of what he could possibly make room for.
Your argument was: What's wrong with more.
I said name the other outlets.
You refuse to do it. Funny.

So your post is a guess and a possible attempt to build some fake concern about maybe someone that doesn't matter might be there. Got it.

Seems like plenty to me given how poorly journalists do their job and with how little of importance gets said in this room. Team Trump probably assumes correctly that Breitbart and the like will not be granted space by White House Correspondents' Association, but does it even matter?

So if not Drudge or Breitbart who else do you think would be allowed in, in your opinion?

I don't have an opinion about who will be added. Maybe Free Beacon, Lawnewz. Who knows? I am not going to worry about it.
 
Well I'm sure wherever it gets moved to will be... Wait for it... Terrific :roll:
 
I say that this would be an unnecessary provocation which would likely backfire.

Provocation? Provocation to what?

"Hey guys let's move to a bigger room over there."

No, this means war!

Backfire how?

I've heard Trump wants to invite in more reporters, some from around the country. What's the big deal? Do the reporters have cliques? Is the popular clique upset that the unpopular cliques get to share a lunch table with them?

What an I missing?
 
Why do they need a press room at all? The reporters can tweet Trump questions and he can tweet back his answers.

They do have cliques and those cliques are reinforced by the media elite that enforce their own set of rules via the White House Correspondence Association. The WHCA is used to getting what they want and they are pushing this faux issue because journalists might be expected to act like actual journalists rather than report anything they want to manufacture without recourse.

Wait a minute...Buzzfeed is part of the press corp? Time to shut it down and start over.

I don't blame Buzzfeed for the pissgate episode. I was against them before I was for them but then I though about the whole situation. All they did was give the info to CNN. CNN cherry picked issues from the dossier that would sound credible, in spite of the fact that it was total garbage. They didn't care "cuz Trump". Anything |uz Trump" is fair game regardless of the honesty of it "cuz Trump". Buzzfeed actually did us a favor by publishing the whole dossier so that we could see just how idiotic and ludicrous it actually was. CNN didn't expect that. I like anyone that blindsides CNN with honesty and transparency.
