The Daily Mail is in. BuzzFeed and Breitbart are out.
The conservative Catholic EWTN network is in, and so is the LGBTQ-friendly Washington Blade. But the Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune and the Russian Tass news agency won’t get seats in the White House briefing room.
The White House Correspondents’ Association has laid out new seating assignments for reporters who attend daily briefings and news conferences.

Brady Briefing Room, has rejiggered who sits where, or doesn’t sit anywhere at all.
