The article discusses the immature conduct of mainstream media journalists, particularly those in the White House press corps, towards changes in their seating arrangements during press briefings.
• Recently, the media has been compared to school children regarding their reactions to climate change alarms and their behavior in the press briefing room.
• The White House Correspondents’ Association has traditionally controlled seating, allowing certain mainstream outlets front-row access, which is now changing.
• Following a seating reorganization, legacy media reporters are being moved to the back, causing an outcry and threats of protests, likened to childish temper tantrums.
• The Associated Press has lost access to the White House press pool, leading the WHCA to encourage support for AP’s press access by wearing First Amendment pins at events, which the article criticizes as hypocritical.
• The article highlights various instances of unprofessional behavior among media personalities, such as CNN reporters creating misleading narratives and other journalists expressing personal grievances rather than focusing on objective reporting.
• It argues that the media’s actions contribute to their declining credibility and approval ratings, suggesting that instead of maturing, they continue to react childishly.
The behavior of some mainstream journalists is criticized for being unprofessional and more focused on their privileges than on serious reporting. The article calls for more adult-like conduct in journalism to regain public trust.
