The Western Journal: Karoline Leavitt Rips 'Monopoly' Power Away from White House Correspondents' Association in Blow to Mainstream Media
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced a shift in press access, stating that the White House will now determine which journalists cover President Trump at special events, challenging the longstanding control of the White House Correspondents' Association. This change follows a recent court ruling against the Associated Press regarding access to coverage.
Leavitt emphasized that the privilege of asking the president questions is not a legal right but a privilege granted to a select few. The administration aims to diversify the press pool by including additional media outlets beyond traditional ones. Critics may view this as a power grab, but the administration argues it is an effort to balance media representation.
