Conservative media outlets gain seats in White House briefing room


Conservative media outlets have more official seats in a new White House briefing room seating chart released Friday.

The updated seating chart sees conservative news organizations Newsmax and One America News (OAN), as well as British newspaper The Daily Mail, with designated seats. Newsmax and the Mail have their own spots, while OAN shares a seat.

None of the organizations had a spot under the previous seating chart, adopted in 2015.

The New York Post now shares a seat with the Christian Science Monitor, both organizations that previously held their own seats. The new chart also gives a seat to Westwood One radio, which it did not previously have.


In an email to the White House press corps announcing the seating changes, White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) president Jeff Mason said the WHCA board considered multiple factors in making changes to the previous seating chart.

“The board considered multiple criteria during this decision-making process, including regular briefing attendance and commitment to the White House beat – we did not want scarce real estate going unused,” Mason said.

“We also looked at news outlets’ audiences, both in terms of reach and in terms of preserving (or in some cases adding) diversity in the briefing room. We took stock of the changing landscape of our industry.”

The updated seating arrangement comes as members of the White House press corps continue to deal with a decreased number of on-camera press briefings from press secretary Sean Spicer and deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. A number of reporters have criticized the White House press office for the lack of on-camera briefings.
From 2 years ago, there may be even more now...

Let's just leave it at this: your definition of "right wing" and mine do not align (at all). What you call "right wing", to me, are just a bunch of conservative sites, which is to say liberalism at the speed limit. In another ten years, those conservative sites will be defending gay marriage from whatever new sexual deviancy the far left promotes by then. Hell, Breitbart is already taking on that mantle.

Actual right wing sites are systematically driven off the Internet. They have their domains stolen. They get booted from the Internet DNS servers. Search engine sites don't index them or they don't put them in the search results. Of the ones that are up at any given time, you can't share them on social media.

Meanwhile all the corporate media is pretty far left and globalist.

You really have no case and your own list proves it. All of those sites you listed as "right wing" hold 1980s democrat positions.

Hardcore commie puritans are indeed very aware of the Overton window.

The "right wing" outlets listed will be shilling the New Yorker POV soon enough.

This is why you cannot yield a single square inch to these fake news motherfuckers. You simply have to go full Lysander Spooner on their asses. No quarter.

Which "should" tell you that the people want more conservative outlets. On the internet the RW outlets get silenced, demonetized, hidden from search results, etc.. every day. The only reason LW sites go under is because they can't get enough people to buy into their BS.

Either way, trying to suggest that Gateway Pundit are the only RW member of the press corps has been busted.

Maybe fewer RWers can read ;)
i never insinuated that, i know fox news and breitbart have a spot. my beef (as with nick) was the volume of left wing press compared to right wing or even independent news outlets, why isnt this an issue for you?

I never insinuated that you insinuated that.

Isn't the volume of RW press a result of market forces? As far as I know, they are not financed by government money.

Why is it not an issue for you that Trump seems to rely solely on Fox news for information?
Bias is clear on both sides of the divide but if you want to compare outright lies and distortions Trump leads the field leaving the media far behind. Isn't that more of an issue when it comes to misleading the public?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I'm not going down the rabbit hole of what mine or your definition of right and left are. I don't think that's going to get us anywhere except into a poorly illuminated space.
