Replied to a Facebook post from a TV channel regarding the Press Core

being moved from the White House. As usual responses were mostly from hostile wingnuttery types saying that they just needed more room for more press.
My response went this way.

Gotta make room for racist, bigoted and tinfoil nut jobs like Infowars, Breitbart, OAN and Drudge. There are a million more conspiracy questions to ask like, "How are we gonna save the flat earth from alien pancake syrup? Do reptilians have equal rights? Can science invent mini guns to insert through a women's privates so fetuses can protect themselves from abortions? Will Trump attack the Illuminati? Throw the Rothschilds and Bilderbergers into jail?" You know. Important things like that.

the proper term is Press Corps and I would hope that there is as little reporting of the White House as is possible by the media for as long as the Esteemed Mr. Trump is there. I would further hope that the major media concerns would move their staff to the Executive Departments, Congress and the Courts where more information would be helpful to the citizens of this county. If Mr. Trump has something to say, he has a Twitter account as I recall.

there will be a fascist Trump pep-squad there to cheer Drumpft and shout down journos.
Orwellian is the only descriptive term that can be applied.
