Expect Big Changes in the White House Press Room as Trump Will All But Sideline Legacy Media​

Rick Moran | 9:49 AM on January 15, 2025

Rumors are flying hot and heavy inside the Beltway that Trump's media team is considering significant, even revolutionary, changes in the White House briefing room.

Ordinarily, the front row of seats is reserved for the "major" media outlets, including ABC, CBS, NBC, AP, Reuters, and CNN. That lineup is as constant as spring rains and as holy as seniority in the College of Cardinals.

But there's a new sheriff in town, and suddenly, we're looking at a dry spring and overturning the sacred college. Trump aides are thinking of mixing things up to give other, less biased media organizations a shot.

The White House Correspondent's Association (WHCA) is responsible for the briefing room seating chart. To take that duty away from the WHCA is akin to a declaration of war on the legacy press. That may be exactly what Trump's media team is looking for.

Anyone who's ever watched a press briefing knows that the whole event is performance art; reporters talk for five minutes to show off their knowledge of events and then ask a question about minutiae that the press secretary is unable to answer. It's a game that doesn't impart any information or accomplish any sort of information exchange between the people and the president. It's all for show.

Time to put the podcasters up front. They have the biggest audiences.

Can't wait until every "breaking" Twitter user actually has sources.

It's going to be awesome when the convicted felon's elderly cult members can't find their leader's insane rants because they don't know what the fuck a podcast is.

PJ Media

PJ Media (formerly Pajamas Media, a.k.a. PJM, PJMedia, Open Source Media, or PJTV) is a far-right Christofascist blog founded in 2005 by Roger L. Simon and Charles Johnson and largely financed by Canadian-born software coder Aubrey Chernick.[1] Pajamas Media was described variously as an advertising network, an alt-right conservative blogging network, an Internet aggregator, a multimedia hate site and a sinkhole into which investment dollars vanished. In 2009, Simon officially dissolved Pajamas Media, replacing it with PJTV, a subscriber-supported video hosting site. After the failure of PJTV in 2016, PJ Media devolved into a blog collecting the gibberings of various wingnuts. In 2019, it was acquired by Salem Media Group.

Would be awesome to see some new media ask real questions. Everyone now knows the legacy/leftist news media are just propaganda outlets.

The exact reverse of the truth.

He who controls the media controls the opinions of the masses.

X is closer to becoming legacy media. Substack is further from power.

Podcasters like Joe Rogan, Glen Greenwald, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro should all have a seat. Losers like MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NYTs, WaPo, should all be seated in the back of the room.

Those are not "less biased media organizations."

Right, they just don't bold faced lie about being "non partisan" while they recite Das Kapital like the word of god.

I seriously don't understand what the point is about who gets a seat in the room. Frankly it's not large enough for all the media to attend and technology is much better at conveying the news to the media than an in-person daily conference. No one gets excluded, no one gets to hog the microphone, no heated debates or snarky responses.

Send the daily press gaggle a blog post on the official WH server and be done with the entire farce.

I agree - the daily presser has become useless.
