Please kick them out of the White House and give them a different building nearby.
The WH should primarily be a residence for the family, secondarily a command center, and only peripherally a place to brief one’s trusted media connections to disseminate a comment from the President.
I think they should not be in White House. They will take advantage like that one journalist that took pictures of Tillerson’s notes from his hearing.
Media can not be trusted.
Agree. It is important to demonstrate to them that they do not warrant such a degree of respect as would be sufficient to allow them into the White House.
They need to be brought down to earth and made to realize that they aren't important; That their jobs could be better done by non "professionals."
We need to go to war on the existing dominant media.
Don’t give the Media anything. Make the pay. If they want to participate in the White Press Pool, let them form an LLC and lease building and outfit it.
Unfortunately, as Drudge reported this morning, Trump has acquiesced to the demands from the MSM that they stay in the WH.
Reuters reports: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.
For me, this is disheartening and a BIG mistake. The opportunity to remove the elitist status of ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo from their lofty, privileged perch is at hand. They have demonstrated their dishonesty and are undeserving of representing a free press.
In this digital age, there is no need for the press to have a physical presence in the WH. Trump should move them out of the WH to a larger space where more of the (honest) media outlets can have space and equal access. No more "front row" status for ABCCBSNBCNYTWaPo.
If Trump waits, gets burned again and then moves them out (and you know that will happen), it will appear to be way more vindictive than it will if he does it now.
