Trump Advisers consider banning and relocating press from the White House

a reply to: UKTruth

Sounds like ego to you? They want to cover the white house and what goes on there. Ego has nothing to do with it.

When is your court system going to ditch the powdered wigs? It's not the sixteenth century anymore.Oh wait tradition.

Who cares. The press will just make up news stories from another location. I don't blame Trump though, the press is so over the top pro-Democrat it's all a big joke.

The Whitehouse press Corp is just a handful of reporters. But they are usually wherever the president is.

You seem to think the Press Corp has full run of the west wing when in reality it doesn't. To me it sounds like the traditional press corp doesn't want to share the spot light with other media outlets. The press briefings will still continue as before and the press will have the same access as before.

What exactly is the press corp bitching about?

The current press room in the White House only accommodates 49 people. More than 400 want access. Are they to be shut out to maintain a monopoly by 7 trans national corporations?

Sure just think what he could get up to when there's nobody looking.
You realize they are supposed to be where ever the president is so they can report what he does where he goes and who he sees right?

That's all tradition not law. The media feeling entitled because they are media. It's all BS. Trump should ditch the elitist snobs.

I would be good to turn off cell service and the internet for a month. Maybe people would actually read a book.

Secondly its about time someone in power starts holding media accountable.

You have that backwards.

Reporters holds our politicians accountable.

Accountability is what the Trump administration is hostile towards...and that should worry the right wing as well as the left...

Reporters ask the questions on the peoples behalf.

If the Trump administration actually cared about miss-reporting or inaccuracies in reporting, then they should welcome the opportunity to frequently answer questions in a public forum.

Take your position above and substitute "the people" for "media"

The people feeling entitled because they are the people. It's all BS.

THAT is the attitude Trump has adopted.

Seems like there will be more media, with potentially only the fake media like CNN being excluded. Sounds positive.

How can you say that with a straight face. They specialize in gotcha and sensationalist journalism that distorts facts to drive headlines. If they want to be considered journalist they should report only the facts without editorializing.

yeah not even close and yes, its about time someone held the media accountable.
