Trump Jr. Proposes Podcasters in White House Press Room

Donald Trump Jr. has revealed that his father, the president-elect, may consider replacing traditional journalists in the White House Briefing Room with favored podcasters like Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly. During a recent episode of his podcast, Trump Jr. discussed how this idea was sparked during a conversation with his father and Elon Musk, suggesting a reshuffling of press credentials to favor content creators who support Trump. He indicated that this change could provoke significant backlash from traditional media outlets, which they believe have been biased against his family. The proposal underscores a growing distrust in conventional journalism and a desire to prioritize non-traditional voices. However, the White House Correspondents' Association, which manages press credentials, traditionally focuses on recognized journalists, raising questions about the practicality of this plan. Trump Jr. argued that given the decline in trust towards mainstream media, it makes sense to include influencers with larger audiences in the press briefings.
