So the 49 schmucks who can occupy the current briefing room are bitching because Trump's people want to find a big enough room to hold double the number of schmucks, and that's reducing media access?  Roll Eyes

Yeah, because they like to think they represent a journalistic 'elite'. If they have to sit around with a much bigger group of schmucks they'll be just another schmuck and not a special exclusive schmuck.

The WHCA has bitched at Obama's Press Secretaries as much as any other President's.  They whine for the sake of whining. 

What they forget is, the President can toss the whole lot out of the White House.  There is no right to a press credential or a seat at the big boy's table.  He could have them cooling their heals at the Starbucks across the street and there's nothing they can legally do about it.
