The entire WH reporting system is set up to benefit the legacy media, from seat assignments in the briefing room to the line-up procedure for Marine One departures. If you challenge it, you are punished.

thefederalist.com/2023/03/17/how… During the Covid pandemic, the WHCA rotated dozens upon dozens of outlets through 1-2 briefing room seats while all of the corporate media got to keep their permanent seats at the front.

The White House press corps is 99% vaccinated When the WHCA first limited briefing attendance during the pandemic, there was at least one rotating seat available to accommodate all WHCA members. Now the briefing room appears to be limited to only outlets with a previously assigned seat.

I've gotten questions about this so a brief explanation as to why certain reporters have to wait weeks/months/etc. to be able to attend WH press briefings and why there are usually only 1-2 conservative reporters in the room at any given time .... The COVID restrictions in place at the WH limit the briefing room to 24 reporters on any given day (prior to rise in vaccinations it was just 12 reporters). The WHCA has implemented a "rotation" on a small number of briefing room seats for reporters from smaller outlets

Cathy Areu claims in lawsuit that the last time she appeared on Tucker Carlson's show in 2018 was prior to Fox Christmas party in NYC. According to social media posts from multiple FNC staff, that party took place on Dec 10. Areu appeared on Carlson's show on Dec 28 per Grabien Here are two social media posts about the FNC Christmas Party (this appears to be the party for all of the shows ... the individual shows also have their own parties the following week). Both posts are dated Dec 10, 2018.

Article II Section III gives the president the authority to call a special session of Congress. The DOJ apparently affirmed this authority in a 1947 opinion: justice.gov/file/20711/dow… "The important factor would appear to be not the nature of the recess or ad- journment but, rather, that the Congress is not in session and that an extraordinary occasion has arisen which requires that it be in session and that it convene...

Two years ago I was a young media reporter and stumbled across a tip about Chris Matthews. Soon discovered he runs an abusive and sexually charged work environment that is so bad staffers called themselves members of the “battered wives club.” He had a sexual harassment settlement in the late 1990s. Rated guests on a numerical scale. Rearranged sets to sit next to female guests. There’s more I’ve heard that’s even worse but don’t have enough sources to confirm for reporting.

Sources tell @dailycaller that the State IG presented a packet of months-old news articles about Dem ties to Ukraine to congressional staffers during today's "urgent" briefing.

Huge blow to Dems who were expecting docs that could help w/ impeachment.

dailycaller.com/2019/10/02/sta… @DailyCaller The packet was apparently given to Pompeo this spring in an attempt to undermine the US Ambassador to Ukraine. It was then passed along to the IG in May, raising questions as to why this was presented as "urgent" now.

This is a real segment on @CNN where Erin Burnett and Joan Walsh are legitimately offended that the president made a joke about the first lady preparing salads.

"Incredibly sexist," Walsh says. Then they get angry at @ScottJenningsKY for saying he didn't think it was sexist (which, btw, they totally set him up by making him the only male on the panel).

A "pathetic minion"?

What is pathetic is that you tried to intimidate me in The Hill green room and condescendingly called me "dear" on the phone. Is that how you treat all female reporters? Or just the ones you don't like? Oh, and the offer of xanax and wine. Definitely not sexist. Not at all.
