Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.
Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"

When Trump holds a fascist rally and spews violent authoritarian blather, it behooves those who consider themselves responsible, independent journalists to describe what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears, and subsequently interrogate Republicans on their acquiescence.
