Trump considering massive shake-up in who gets access to White House Briefing Room

President-elect Donald Trump is coming in hot, and the establishment media has never been more worried than they are right in this moment.

That was evidenced in a recent report by The Hill that revealed many of the reporters who cover the White House, in the White House Press Corps, are worried sick about potential massive shake-ups in who gets access to cover the president and goings on in the White House.

The outlet reported that word on the street, at least according to signals from Trump's team, is that the incoming president will reform the press corps and allow more independent journalists, podcasters, bloggers and non-traditional media into the White House Briefing Room.

That idea, The Hill reported, is causing a great disturbance among the establishment media journalists.

Not surprisingly, the outlet reached out to several journalists who refused to go on record and spoke anonymously about their feelings on the potential shake-up.

"It would be a total mess," one White House reporter reportedly told The Hill. "I would expect people would probably boycott the briefings, though that would put certain outlets in a tough spot deciding if they want to go along with what the Trump people are trying to pull."

The Hill noted:

Traditionally, the first row of the James Brady Briefing Room has been occupied by the four major networks of NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox; The Associated Press; CNN; and Reuters.

But under Trump's presidency, tradition will likely go out of the window, and many believe it's appropriate revenge for what the establishment media has done to Trump over the past eight or so years.

The White House Communications Office ultimately gets the last say as far as where journalists from various outlets get to sit in the briefing room.

Some of the larger outlets have standing credentials to cover the White House, while other outlets are able to apply for short-term "day passes."

Donald Trump Jr. hinted that his father could drastically reform the briefing room situation, noting that if the big outlets continue to stay in the far-left lane, there's no reason to give them special treatment.

"If The New York Times has lied, they’ve been averse to everything, they’re functioning as the marketing arm to the Democrat Party … why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?" Trump Jr. said during a recent podcast interview.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s pick to be White House press secretary for his second term, recently said "We are looking at those options. And, ultimately, it’s about serving the American people and getting President Trump’s message across to them," when asked if "different voices" could be in the briefing room.

Needless to say, it's fun to watch the establishment liberal media types squirm as they ponder their career choices under Trump's presidency.
