Whatever happen to old school Journalists being scrappy, anti-elite, stick-on-their-nose-where-they-shouldn't-be meddling truth-seekers? Sure, they may be obnoxious sometimes (maybe most of time), but that is the POINT of actualism journalism!

I think Obisanya has flagged some valid concerns here. Yet I also think he underestimates how degraded the regime media has become. Joe Rogan ain’t sitting in the press galley. That’s not his schtick. And although he’s not a credible journalist in the traditional sense, neither is anyone at the Wapo. A more realistic option would be the Daily Wore. You might say they’re partisan hacks, but so is virtually every single journalist sitting that room.

The thing that excites me about this proposal is the precise reason I support Trump - he’s bringing a hammer to the institutions and smashing their privileged pedestals. Giving access to the Free Press, Racket News and similar independent journalists is the best option IMO, but smashing the current system is a good enough start for me.
