WASHINGTON — The White House is the people’s house — not a guaranteed set for outlets that spent years calling Patriots names and sandbagging American wins. Attorney General Todd Blanche said it plainly on Sunday.
On ABC’s This Week, Blanche told host Martha Raddatz that access to the White House is a privilege. “It is a privilege to be in the White House for anybody,” he said, later adding: “It is the people’s house. It is a privilege, not a right, to be there.”
He went further on Air Force One after CNN was blocked from the rotating television pool for President Trump’s Tennessee trip. “The president has every right to decide who flies on his plane,” Blanche said.
That stance fits the week’s America First media fight. Trump has hammered “FAKE NEWS” coverage, boasted about historic financial numbers the press underplays, and insisted he wants “real news, not fake news.” A federal judge’s temporary order restored some credentials while the legal fight continues — but the principle remains: access is earned by accuracy and fairness, not by volume of hostility.
Patriots who watched years of two-tier coverage know why this matters. A Golden Age White House does not owe oxygen to outlets that refuse to report wins. Privilege, standards, and strength — that is the Trump press doctrine.
