From the incoming administration's perspective, this is a moronic thing for them to do. This reduces the press's dependency on them, which means that they will have a very hard time controlling the narrative. From my perspective as a partisan and newsreader, I want this to happen.

So the 49 schmucks who can occupy the current briefing room are bitching because Trump's people want to find a big enough room to hold double the number of schmucks, and that's reducing media access?  Roll Eyes
And we have Democrat party hacks Media Matters confirming what all this upset is about. The liberal media in the White House is upset that they won't be an exclusive little club anymore

In other words 'we're upset because the liberal establishment news is losing its cosy little oligopoly'.

By....attempting to create a conservative oligopoly?
