The "White House Press Corps" controls the seats under long standing protocol. "The White House" controls the room. The current head of the WHPC is Jon Karl of ABC/Disney (Usually on the right-middle area.) He chooses who has what seat. It's a detailed cockamamie scheme. Front couple rows for the 'faces', next couple rows "rotate among a couple people", next couple rotate among like five people. Back row is like ten people and the foreign press.
He saves a few for the "Main TV News Anchors". Brett Baier can show (and does sometimes), but Tucker, Gutfield, etc are either "not main enough" or "Opinion"
