He wants to move it out and add talk show hosts? Did I hear that right?
Is this an effort to give credibility to Beerbart and the Hannitys of the world? ..or discredit journalism all together. ------------------------- I was right. |

In the post truth world he is fighting to maintain, loud barkers and a state network are the known successes he wants to replicate.

The Press corps responded with a threat of retaliation, lengthy on the details of how they will do it too.

My gut feeling is that he wants a bigger venue so he can bring in angry supporters to heckle the media. He'll say he's opening it up to the people, tired of the elitist and dishonest media!

Trump won't move White House briefing room but says he will 'pick the people' who get a seat
Oliver Darcy Business InsiderJanuary 18, 2017 President-elect Donald Trump said in a recent interview with Fox News that he would not move the press briefing room out of the West Wing of the White House, but that his team would "pick the people" who are assigned the 49 seats. A weekend Esquire report said members of Trump's team had discussed booting the press corps from the briefing room in the West Wing. Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, later confirmed that discussions were underway to move the press to a larger room to accommodate more reporters. "So we said we're going to move it to a larger room in a nearby area, but not the same area, and the press went crazy," Trump said in a Fox News interview broadcast Wednesday. The president-elect continued: "So I said, 'Let's not move it.' But some people in the press will not be able to get in because there's just too many. We'll make sure you get a seat, but there's too many people for this small room." The seats in the briefing room, which has been used for decades, are assigned by the White House Correspondents' Association. Over the weekend, the organization's president stressed that the briefing room "is open to all journalists who seek access now." Trump, however, said interest in access had increased after his election, and that "many people" want a seat. "So we'll just pick the people to go into the room," he said, disregarding the long tradition of the WHCA assigning seats. "I'm not sure other people will be thrilled about that," Trump added. "But we offered a much larger room because we need a much larger room. And we offered to do that, but they went crazy." Trump concluded: "They'll be begging for a much larger room very soon. You watch." The WHCA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's remarks. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

Trump added. "But we offered a much larger room because we need a much larger room. And we offered to do that, but they went crazy."
WTF? Has that ever happened before? Here is a larger room so the press has more access and more people can attend and the FREE PRESS went crazy... you can't let other people in, those who will tell the other side of the story??

The seats in the briefing room, which has been used for decades, are assigned by the White House Correspondents' Association
So the Association picks who gets access to the white house and not all the press has access, a larger room with more people takes power away from WHO??? the press association, not the press, not the people, just this organization that has a stranglehold on who gets access... IF you believe the white House is the House of the People than you must be supporting Trump in making access more available to the more of the people... ------------------------- |
