The White House Correspondents’ Association says the White House is trying to “cynically seize control of the system’s system through which the independent press organizes itself,” the WHCA board says.

The room as currently constructed only dates to the early 1980s and the tenure of former press secretary James Brady , who was tragically shot during an assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan in 1981 .

Bush spokesman says he was the last press secretary to rearrange seats in the briefing room.

Fleischer demoted TIME and Newsweek because he felt they weren't showing up to briefings often enough.

Technology may erode importance of giving those seats to television and newswire services.

Trump has been more aggressive in handling the press than recent predecessors.
