Ordinarily, the front row of seats is reserved for the "major" media outlets, including ABC, CBS, NBC, AP, Reuters, and CNN. That lineup is as constant as spring rains and as holy as seniority in the College of Cardinals.But there's a new sheriff in town, and suddenly, we're looking at a dry spring and overturning the sacred college. Trump aides are thinking of mixing things up to give other, less biased media organizations a shot.The White House Correspondent's Association (WHCA) is responsible for the briefing room seating chart. To take that duty away from the WHCA is akin to a declaration of war on the legacy press. That may be exactly what Trump's media team is looking for.
One of the funniest suggestions I saw was that although the WHCA sets the seating chart, Trump's press secretary can just move the podium to the back of the room.
