White House press corps recoils at Trump’s threat to shake up briefing room
by Dominick Mastrangelo - 12/04/24 6:00 AM ET

Signals from President-elect Trump’s team that a shake-up of the White House Press Briefing Room could be coming are roiling journalists preparing to cover his second term. 

People close to Trump have said in recent days he should dramatically change who gets access to the president, suggesting podcasters, internet personalities and media deemed more friendly to him could replace outlets like the major television networks, The New York Times and The Washington Post in the room’s front rows.

Reporters covering The White House, in conversations with The Hill this week, described a feeling of annoyance, frustration and dread at such an idea.

Several reporters declined to comment on the record or requested anonymity to speak candidly about the possibility of a drastically changed press room and the likely kerfuffle it would spark.

“It would be a total mess,” one White House reporter told The Hill this week. “I would expect people would probably boycott the briefings, though that would put certain outlets in a tough spot deciding if they want to go along with what the Trump people are trying to pull.”

The White House briefing room press corps needs to be shaken up.

They need to bring in more journalists from flyover country.

Maybe we'll get more relevant and intelligent questions.  Or press secretaries will get called out for lying to our faces.

Maybe, press brifings will get more "colorful" and entertaining.

Yes, the reporter from Downeast Maine ...

Yes, the reporter from Vermont ...
Will the President be placing tariffs on Canadian maple syrup imports protect American maple syrup from those dastardly canucks?

Oh, God help us now, the Reporter from Boston ...
First, I heard there would be free booze. I'm loosing my buzz.  Second, are you sh!tt!n' me, darlin'?  You really expect me to believe that horse$h!t you're shoveling here, lady?  Lastly, has anyone told you that you look like a muppet?

Pass out Play Doh, Coloring Books and Crayons or should I say "CryOns" to the Democrat Owned Media and find a safe place out on the Easter Egg Lawn for them to sit in safety and all nod their heads in sync, while looking left.
