Yeah, I am getting pretty sick and tired of hearing the "traditionally the White House has always allowed the press corp to handle that" excuse when it comes to just about all of their issues.

Traditionally the Press has treated the President with respect and had the basic decency not to interrupt him or attempt to argue with him, like an equal. That was the Press' part of the bargain and they are the ones that stopped upholding their end not GEOTUS.

Whether it is who gets to ask the President questions, which news outlets get access, who gets precedence, or even the seating chart it is up to them?

The WHPC doesn't even have a set of transparent standards that explains how they go about making the decisions that they do.

That is one festering pit of snakes that is long overdue for an overhaul. Tradition be damned.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that'll be one of the first things GEOTUS does after he, God willing, wins re-election. I'm doing my part. Hope you are too.

I've been wondering how this problem can be fixed? Break up the mass media corporations that these networks are a part of? It's my understanding that they disrespect and buck everything about Trump because China threatens to pull the plug on their ability to do business in China if they don't, so they tow the line, and we get a propagandized media, for someone's almighty dollar...So sick of this bullshit.

Nothing is stopping the Press Secretary from holding 'meetings' and selecting those they want to attend.

Pick some CNN/MSNBC tards and if they get out of line don't invite them back.

Her first 1-2 questions were fine and pressing, her follow ups after he said next were grounds for perma pan.
