The White House was already Trump Removed Associated Press is its press events Driving The decision -making process surrounding the correspondents join the “Press Group” for the president. Apparently, Trump officials are planning to prepare the sitting scheme in the White House surrounding room, according to Intuition.
This may seem small, and in some aspects. Determining whoever sits as he was in the surrounding room has long been within the jurisdiction of the White House Correspondents Association, an organization led by journalists. In theory, one of the front row seats, which currently goes, gives some of the largest broadcasters and newspapers to reporters a better opportunity to get a question during a press conference. But in the White House is already hostile to the main media – a white house used the briefing room accusation Journalists are propaganda – those seats have decreased returns.
The issue is not how the sitting scheme will affect the press surroundings of this White House, which often makes news these days for its reinforcements. However, in the assumption of power on a system that was traditionally the field of free journalism, the president Donald Trump He sends a message about who is really responsible for how to cover his presidency and who gets its coverage.
Of course, this message is already unambiguously clear. Associated Press currently closed In a legal battle with the White House after it was banned from events because it refused to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “The Gulf of America”. Meanwhile, before assuming his post, the president made a wave of Judicial cases Against ABC, CBS and Des Moines Record, based on what experts argue that they are not flying claims in the face of the first amendment but have pushed many major news organizations to flash all of this.
This step can also be another blow to the Whica itself, which has already been stripped of one of its basic duties in determining who gets the press gathering. When the White House made this change in February, the head of the group Eugene Danielsand He said This step is “a rupture of the independence of the free press in the United States.”
in statement On Monday, about mixing possible sitting, the Whica Council encouraged the administration to “abandon this wrong effort”, writing, “If the White House pushes forward, it will become more clear that the administration seeks to control sarcastically on the system through which the independent press itself is organized, so that it is easier to punish the penalty on its cover.”
No wonder, then that Whica leaders are not in a mood to shed light on the current climate at their next dinner. During the weekend, the group canceled scheduled plans for a comic Amber Roven The event is at the forefront of a White House official, a clip of two reins, describing the Trump administration as “a kind of a group of killers.” In a statement announcing the change, Daniels said, “At the moment of the press, I want to make sure that the focus is not on the division policy, but completely on granting our colleagues their distinguished work and providing scholarships and guidance to the next generation of journalists.”
