Is there no one else capable of doing anything. Expand As a reminder, the AP still has full access to the White House and is not having its First Amendment rights trod on in any way. Unlike with what the Biden White House did, stripping away the passes of 442 reporters back in August of 2023, a move about which the WCHA had nothing to say at the time. In stripping the WHCA of the power to decide which media outlets get included in the press pool, the Trump White House is sending a clear message: the days of media elites controlling access and influencing are over.

During the Biden era, 442 reporters lost their “hard pass” to cover the White House. In 2021, the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. The Biden White House made new rules revoking passes for journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.” If you’re wondering what the White House Correspondents’ Association did to assist these reporters, the answer is nada.

Expand What difference does it make? Trump deciding vs someone deciding on behalf of Biden? The bad orange man entertains press questions virtually every day. They aren’t all friendly. The previous guy had questions pre-submitted and a list of reporters someone had him call on. Even then, it was a rarity. It was an embarrassment. Hard to believe this annoys you. Seems like you just want something else to whine about. 1
