14. The WH is engaging in a massive purge of "hand pass" holders.

May 2019

Every one of WaPo reporters' press passes were revoked, along with many others news outlets.

Some new and ridiculous policy about how many days a reporter has been in the WH within the last 180 days (and other equally stupifying criteria) has curtailed almost every reporters' access now.

Sara The Serial Liar rarely gives press briefings anymore, preferring to release statements from the WH drive-way.

We are no longer a country served by a press corps as trmp has decided that they are "the enemy of the people" and depending on his mood that day, decides who will be able to get access to the WH.

I don't know how much more of this crap the country can take.
