Trump TV announces new 24-hour network will get access to White House press briefings

Can Trump grant the online channel dedicated to his campaign into the White House without proper credentials?

http://www.salon.com/2016/12/07/trump-tv-announces-new-24-hour-network-will-get-access-to-white-house-press-briefings/

The conservative online media outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), dubbed “Trump TV” by the Washington Post, announced this week that it is expanding into a 24-hour operation that will “be in the White House … at the press briefings” during the Trump administration.

Media Matters first reported the curious claim by Right Side Broadcasting Network host Joe Seales during the outlet’s online coverage of Trump’s “Thank You” rally in North Carolina on Tuesday night.

The pro-Trump website has live-streamed nearly every Trump campaign event, produced debate analysis with Trump campaign aides that streamed on Trump’s official Facebook Page, and even set-up a camera to capture transition efforts from the lobby of Trump Tower for its nearly 250,000 YouTube subscribers. Seemingly with the blessing of the Trump campaign, RBSN has set itself up as the official destination of broadcast counter news programming for the pro-Trump crowd.

“Anything that Trump does live we will be there,” Seales told his viewers Tuesday night. “We will be there at the inauguration, we will be in the White House, we will be at the press briefings. I promise you that. You can count on Right Side Broadcasting” he said.
