Vice President JD Vance recently made comments suggesting that the new administration will closely monitor reporters covering the White House, particularly those perceived as biased or aligned with the Democratic Party. In an interview with Fox News, Vance indicated that reporters with left-leaning biases would still be allowed to ask questions, but those deemed as Democratic Party propagandists would be treated differently.
Vance also commended White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who recently introduced changes to the press briefing room. Leavitt announced that seats typically reserved for White House staffers would now be allocated to 'new media' journalists, whom Vance described as representing the forefront of news media in the country.
Furthermore, Leavitt disclosed plans to reinstate the press credentials of over 400 individuals, which she claimed were unjustly revoked by the previous administration. This move signals a shift in the White House's approach to media relations and a willingness to engage with a diverse range of journalists.
The statements made by Vice President Vance and Press Secretary Leavitt underscore a commitment to transparency and inclusivity in media interactions, while also hinting at a more discerning approach to engaging with the press corps.
