Today during a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the WH Press team will now determine rotations and which news outlets get access. This will change the way the WHCA rules journalists. She said that legacy media news outlets will still have a presence at briefings, and that the 5 major TV networks will still be relied on to broadcast White House events.

"I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows, and who listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join, fear not. But we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility," Leavitt told reporters during Tuesday's briefing.

After an angry exchange between the Associated Press and The Trump White House over being banned recently, a federal judge ruled in favor of the White House today.

"A select group of D.C.-based journalists should no longer have a monopoly over the privilege of press access at the White House. All journalists, outlets and voices deserve a seat at this highly coveted table," she said.

Hell erupted when the Associated Press continued to use the term "Gulf of Mexico" instead of "Gulf of America" as requested by the Trump Administration.

The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America. This decision is not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press' commitment to misinformation. While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One," White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich wrote on X.

"Going forward, that space will now be opened up to the many thousands of reporters who have been barred from covering these intimate areas of the administration," Budowich continued. "Associate Press journalists and photographers will retain their credentials to the White House complex."

Stone News Network looks forward to these changes and welcomes any new inclusions of foreign and domestic news agencies.
