Karoline Leavitt also announced that the Trump administration was rolling out a new policy giving ‘new media’ groups that produce ‘news-related content’ a seat at the press briefings. Brian Glenn, a fringe far-right cable channel host who also happens to be MAGA congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend, ushered in White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s first press briefing by fawning over how “great” she looked.
The sycophantic greeting came shortly after Leavitt announced the Trump administration was rolling out a new policy that would allow “new media” outlets and social media influencers to have seats in the press briefings, claiming it was because “Americans trust in mass media has fallen to a record low.”.
Using her first briefing to boast about Donald Trump’s achievements during his first week in office and justify his recent funding freeze, the 27-year-old Leavitt began her presser on Tuesday by announcing that podcasters and “independent journalists” were welcome to appear in the press room going forward.
Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media, and other independent outlets,” she said. “It is essential to our team that we share President Trump’s message everywhere and adapt this White House into the new media landscape in 2025.”.
Adding that she was reinstating the press privileges of the 440 journalists from dozens of outlets that were “wrongly revoked by the previous administration,” Leavitt continued to scold the “legacy media” while declaring that seats previously occupied by White House staff would now be given to these “new media” groups.
