He basically kicked out any press that had even a modicum of journalistic integrity. His "press corps" now consists of Faux snooze, Oan, etc. And even they apparently have to make sure not ask him the wrong question, or he will throw a tantrum like he did a few days ago when an oan reporter asked him a question about his illegal war.
