"Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps
The Trump administration’s 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 Correspondents’ Association, Axios first reported Sunday.

The WHCA’s 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 ā€œfundamental 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 organization’s 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 ā€œsit-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?
 
By Allah! These Democrats get dumber every day!

Have they thought for a second how the WH will react to such a sit in?

Look, Dems: When people had sit-ins at lunch counters, that was a real problem for the owners because they needed those seats for customers. I don't know if it had any effect on civil rights, but at least it put the owner to some inconvenience.

The reason the WH briefing room is the WH briefing room isn't because some "important" network reporters deign to sit there and listen to the president. It's the WH briefing room because the president or their spokespersons offer to come in and give information and answer questions.

If the reporters pull some kind of stunt, Karoline Leavett can just invite another set of reporters into another room, with Secret Service standing by to block hostiles from entering. That would be a nicer briefing anyway, without all the repetitive "I'm so clever" "Gotcha" questions.

Then the CNN's of the world will be left showing clips from other news sources. This will last a day, if that.

You Dems crack me up!

We don't really need them. The "free press" is nothing but part of the deep state. If they want to sit in or leave then let them.
 
Go ahead....Their next seat will be across PA avenue.....They can shout their questions at the WH gate.
Proves their allegiance to the fascist Dim cult and not the will of the people.
 
Viewership numbers matter.

If nobody listens to you....why should you get front row center access to the President?

That's the breaks.

News organizations are supposed to report the news....not create it.
 
Let them sit in.

If they decide that they are going to sit where they think their status entitles them, then the Press Secretary should walk in, give her briefing.

Then as a final statement for the day, tell those who in the back that they can thank their colleagues for not getting to ask their questions.

Then, turn and leave for the day.

The White House has a long list of information outlets they can use to get their message out to the American people. The press corp isn't the only one.
 
Why is Trump so afraid of tough questions?
Why would a president care about the established seating of reporters?
What would it do beyond giving personal supporters more time?
Like the view point or not.
Do we not want questions asked that give us the most information?
So we can use our own minds to sort out the facts?

Cancel access to any ā€œreporter:, and the outlet they work for, for anyone participating in the sit in.

Problem solved.
 
Well, it is if they are putting the "Suit Question" guy up front and the NYT at the back of the room, yes.
That's not what they're doing, but hey, you believe what you want to believe. What they are doing is recognizing the footprint of the outlets represented by the reporters. If the Suit Question guy has a bigger following than the NYT, guess who gets the front row seat?

Easy. No briefings until rules and decorum are followed. Biden and Harris stonewalled the American public for four years.

Pull their passes to the briefings. The Main Stream Media has done this to themselves. They lied to the American people and did so deliberately. They aren't "journalists"! Why should they expect to be treated as if they were?
