Siriusxm Podcaster Megyn Kelly brought concern about the decision of President Donald Trump to grab control of the White House press bath, warning that employees of the White House were on 'dangerous land'.
“I will say for the record, I don't know how I think the White House says that we are now going to decide who is in the pool,” said Kelly in her daily podcast show with radio presenter Buck Sexton.
Kelly said she approved the idea of ​​opening the White House access for more reporters, but criticized their decision to remove reporters from the swimming pool rotation.
“It's not the same as saying that we are going to bring new voices to the press room of the press, I am all great, but I actually believe that the media should decide who is in the pool.”
She repeated that journalists, no White House staff, should make decisions about access rotations.
“I am not a knee -oak defender of the press, but I am also not a knee -oak defender of the president and there is an important role for an independent press in this country,” she said.
Kelly noted that covering the White House was a complicated process to ensure that the president's movements were covered in an honest, independent way.
She also remembered that she covered the president when she worked for Fox News and noticed the professionalism and complexities of the job.

'As if you can't fuck with that. You need real professionals who have a lot of experience, you know, putting on a chance, being ready to break news, “said Kelly. 'I only speak of the TV rich, because that is the one I know. I received questions about this before I really endorse it or criticize it. '
White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that the White House would arrange the rotation of the swimming pool to ensure that more reporters from different points of sale had access to the president.
On Wednesday, the White House pushed three reporters out of the pool to make room for three different reporters, one of Axios, one of the Blaze and a separate television team from Newsmax.
Leavitt explained why she decided to blow up the rotation of journalists who have been checked by De Witte Huis Correspondents Association during an interview on the ruthless podcast.
“We don't want to vote less in the room,” she said.
“The old media will still be there as we said, but there are many other people in this country, throughout the country who earn a chair,” she added.

Kelly criticized the press for their reporting on Trump, but indicated that she was still a bit worried about the White House that controlled access to the president.
“I realize that the press has lost its mind, but it is right in the bill of rights written that yes, a free press is one of our most fundamental values, and I am not sure if I feel at ease when the White House says:” This is who will cover me. This is who I will be completely covered, “she said.
Sexton noted that the press was insufficiently biased, but Kelly warned that the White House decision to take control of the process was a bad move.
'Listen, this White House, they have not thrown all left media away. It is almost still the Polish they want, dominant, left -wing media, “said Kelly. “I only say the principle of it, if we start discussing the principle, we are here on dangerous ground.”
