Despondent Correspondents: Scott Jennings Lays Out Hard Facts For The Depressed Press

Posted • February 26, 2025: Legacy media outlets are freaking out at new rules which have removed the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) entirely from the press access equation. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday that the White House will determine which media outlets will get access to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The WHCA is furious like any child who no longer gets his or her way. Oh, well.

Ironically, the podcasters and alt-media now allowed into the WH have 10-20x the reach of the traditional entitled bunch. (…)
