"Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps
The Trump administrationās proposal to take over the seating arrangement within the White House press briefing room has rattled the journalists who cover the president and left them mulling how exactly to push back.
The White House plans to impose its own seating chart for reporters in the briefing room, seizing control of a prerogative long managed by the journalists in the room through the White House Correspondentsā Association, Axios first reported Sunday.
The WHCAās current system reflects the 20th century media power structure: wire services and broadcast and cable television networks occupy the front row, major newspapers and radio get the second and third rows, and a more fluid collection of news organizations sits further back. The White House proposal would upend the arrangement in a move White House officials reportedly believe will be a āfundamental restructuring of the briefing room, based on metrics more reflective of how media is consumed today.ā
On Sunday, key members of the WHCA, including the organizationās leadership and some White House bureau chiefs, met to discuss a range of potential responses should Trump communications officials decide to dictate where reporters in the room sit.
According to two people familiar with the discussions, among the proposals raised by members was a potential Civil Rights era-style āsit-inā protest, in which members would return to their old seats and refuse to leave them."

The left wing media seizing part of the White House and disrupting the operation of the government would be an act of insurrection and would have to be dealt with by the USSS,
Would these insurrectionist journalists be held for three years waiting for trial?
