The Trump White House is proving once again that it's committed to breaking the mainstream media's stranglehold on information—and the latest press pool rotation is all the evidence you need.
In a move that would have been unthinkable during the Biden years, the Office of Communications has released its press rotation schedule for January 19-25, 2026, and it's a beautiful sight for patriots who believe in a free and diverse press. Alongside the usual suspects from legacy media, you'll find outlets like the Washington Examiner, Washington Times, The Federalist, Daily Signal, Human Events, and American Spectator getting their rightful place in the briefing room.
A Seat at the Table for Conservative Media
Remember when the Biden administration did everything in its power to freeze out conservative journalists while coddling their friends at CNN and MSNBC? Those days are over, folks.
The rotation shows international outlets like GB News—the UK's answer to fair and balanced reporting—and UnHerd getting secondary TV and new media slots. Even OAN is back in the mix, something the previous regime would have fought tooth and nail to prevent.
This isn't just about optics. It's about the Trump administration putting its money where its mouth is on press freedom. When President Trump talks about fighting back against fake news, he doesn't mean silencing journalists—he means giving Americans access to all perspectives, not just the Democrat-approved narrative machine.
The New Media Revolution Continues
Perhaps the most telling column in this rotation is the "New Media" slot. The Federalist, Daily Signal, Human Events, and Frontlines represent the future of American journalism—outlets that actually listen to their readers instead of lecturing them.
These are the publications that kept telling the truth during COVID, that covered the Hunter Biden laptop story when Big Tech was censoring it, and that never stopped asking hard questions about the 2020 election. Now they're getting White House credentials, and that's exactly how it should be in a functioning republic.
What This Means for You
For everyday Americans, this rotation signals something important: the information gatekeepers no longer have exclusive control over what comes out of the People's House. When Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt steps to that podium, she'll be answering questions from journalists who actually represent the concerns of middle America—not just the coastal elite bubble.
The Trump administration has made it clear that any outlet interested in joining the press pool can email to express interest. That's transparency. That's accessibility. That's what a government of, by, and for the people looks like.
After four years of an administration that treated half the country like domestic terrorists, isn't it refreshing to see a White House that welcomes diverse voices instead of trying to silence them?
