Things sure are changing in the White House press corps. According to a video posted on Wednesday, radio show host Alex Jones’s website Infowars, which has been accused of being "conspiracy theory and alt-right" by much of the established media, has been offered White House press credentials. In the clip Jones explains: Here’s the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we’ve already been offered them, we’re going to get them, but I’ve just got to spend the money to send somebody there. I want to make sure it’s even worth it. I don’t want to just sit there up there like ‘m in the media, look our people are there.’ People don’t understand this paradigm, we’re devolving in a good way, power from the federal government back to the people, back from the centralized MSM to the people, just like Trump said in his speech. On Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that four "Skype seats" would be made available to some journalists who are outside of a 50-mile radius of Washington, D.C.. It is not known when the Skype seats will be deployed during daily press briefings. He contined: “[Trump]) keeps saying CNN is fake, and I'm not going to any of your fake news. What’s CNN doing in the front row, when [White House press secretary Sean] Spicer keeps going to them? And then the reporter yesterday goes, “Oh, maybe Trump wasn’t even elected. That’s why you say there’s fraud.” So they’re like little kids up there. These aren’t real journalists. Meanwhile, it’s just crazy, you should see Breitbart and Drudge, and also just reporters that are known to tell the truth from mainstream, whatever, promoted and put up at the front of those briefings, to bring up real questions, not just a battle where they’re just attacking with fricking lies" Jones, a supporter of President Trump, is the owner and operator of popular web sites Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. He is also the author of "9-11 Descent Into Tyranny" and "The Answer to 1984 is 1776." The White House has not confirmed Jones' statement. Meanwhile, members of the press on the opposite ideological spectrum were quick to mock the announcement, starting with Salon which said "Truthers in the briefing room: Alex Jones claims Infowars has been offered White House credentials. Donald Trump has long been cozy with the notorious conspiracy theorist, and now it seems to be paying off" Trump and Jones have a relationship going back a long time. Despite being notorious for claiming that major American tragedies were actually part of sinister government-orchestrated conspiracies — including the Oklahoma City bombings, the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing — Trump has appeared on Jones’ show, even saying, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.” Trump has also adopted many of Jones’ own beliefs when they’re politically convenient for him, such as his current claim that he would have won the popular vote had it not been for undocumented immigrants. One thing is certain: should InfoWars have a presence during the daily boring White House pressers, it will certainly boost their Nielsen ratings overnight, something which to the ad-savvy president is surely first and foremost on his mind.

This will make the WH Press Conferences interesting
Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
It's about time a President got around to inviting alternative media journalist to sit in at the press conferences. The alternative media was instrumental in getting Trump elected - get rid of the CNNCBSABCNBCMSNBC fake journalists. Some of the comments from the site were pretty interesting. It's worth the $$ for Alex to send somebody there, if for no other reason, just to film all of the MSM's "hair on fire" due to their presence... You know things are pretty damned bad and are in need of radical change when people like Alex Jones have been the most insightful and accurate over the last 15+ years. Go figure. Published on Jan 26, 2017 Alex Jones fires back at the mainstream media's claim that he is somehow lying or inflating facts about Infowars being part of The White House Press Corps. He's backed off of the "offered credentials" alternative fact, in this later video. You are such a slow-witted dufus to still believe anything Alex Jones says or that is posted by InfoWars! “He is not credentialed for the White House. The White House Press Office has not offered him credentials,” White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders told BuzzFeed on Thursday morning. http://thehill.com/media/316252- alex-jones-white-house-offered-infowars-press-credentials.
“BACKED OFF?” That “code” for….ALEX LIED. Right?
No doubt once word got out, the cowards denied ever offering to issue the credentials. Same shit - different day. Trump reneges on his campaign promises and now the WH Press Offices backs down on this. That's right! It's all anyone ever gets from Alex and InfoWar....same shit - differenct day. The WH Press Office backed down from nothing….the credentials were NEVER offered.
You and Alex are on the same team, the alternative facts shuck 'n jive Trump worship cult. ALEX LIED....face up to that!
Alex Jones will probably do something Jerry Springer like, to F' it up for the rest of the Alt media. I hope he doesn't. The socialist MSM needs more COMPETITION to slow down the libtard indoctrination of Americas mentally WEAK SHEEP.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
If it were up to Gatlin, alternative media journalists would be silenced. That's just how he rolls. AWESOME! Piss off the MSM.
up to that! Alex is fighting for your first amendment rights to lie, and worship ISIS McCain and Trump! Uh Oh....I foresee an Infowarathon to raise funds. :-) Deck you should get the credentials. Represent LF well...
I tell you what...you couldn't pay me enough to live in that sewer (D.C). No got dang way. How do you know any of that? Aren't you just making up a lame excuse for AJ making a fool of you for trusting his statement? Alex Jones has always had a tenuous relationship with the truth, to put it kindly. This is just another recurrence. And you're left hanging, trying to explain it all away. "No doubt", this is because you're a reptilian space alien. See, I can explain inconvenient facts away too, just like Alex does. At some point, you start to sound like a Scientology cultist. The more abused your trust is, the more you cling to the cult leader.
Why are you calling Alex Jones a liar on this? He isn't lying.
Alex Jones has always had a tenuous relationship with the truth, to put it kindly. This is just another recurrence. Why do you represent your incorrect opinions as facts?
Jerome Corsi MAY obtain White House credentials after he NOW APPLIES for them to represent Alex Jones….it is possible, we shall see.
From a January 26 YouTube video : ALEX JONES (HOST): When in a Facebook Mentions, talking about the fact I don’t even know if I want a Washington bureau, now that Trump says he’s going to try and let in independent media, I don’t even know if I want to send people up there, I’m not even sure I have the money. Then I’m saying, do I just want to sit around with the press corps asking their stupid questions, and then I pointed out that not once but twice, while I was in D.C., people that – let’s just say worked for President Trump, or had been involved in his election – said, “Hey we love Paul Watson, he’s a rock star, he ought to be up here in the national press corps. Are you going to be moving to D.C.? Are you going to open a bureau? Alex, you ought to be part of this.” So I took that as, yeah, we can get press credentials, in fact I said in the piece Breitbart ought to be there, Drudge ought to have a correspondent, it was more of just a -- wargaming in my mind, and pointing out that wherever I go, members of the press who aren’t globalists, like Ann Coulter run over – that was in Cleveland at a separate event – and say, “Hey, Paul Watson’s a rock star, we love him. Boy he’s great.” So what I was talking about was that, but they took the fact that I don’t read off a teleprompter and the fact that I just as a gestalt talk about larger issues that “Oh, he said he was getting press credentials, but he hasn’t been given them.” What I said was, “We can get them if we want them, guaranteed.” [NO, what you said, Alex, was that you were OFFERED them….and that was a LIE]! So, there you have it. Alex Jones, “walked back” [Code for: He Lied] his statement that: ”We’ve already been offered [White House credentials].”
Ronald Reagan, Roger Stone Roger Stone is a frequent guest on Alex Jones. Roger Stone and Alex Jones crash the set of the Young Turks If Alex wants WH press credentials, he'll have them. You answered your own question. He was offered them. Now they apply. Like hey do you want this job. Yes I want it. So go apply. O
Alex Jones: It was made emphatically clear by Sarah Sanders, the White House Deputy Press Secretary that Alex Jones was not offered credentials. However, you of course can feel free to spin it anyway you want to …
Kanaries need to die!
Edit Add: Alex Jones will probably get White House Press Credentials now that Jerome Corsi has applied for them. But the fact remains that Alex Jones was never offered White House press credentials as he claimed he was. Alex Jones now admits he was not offered White House press credentials:
I never said that he should not have them….I said that Alex lied when he said that “we’ve already been offered them.” The fact remains that Alex Jones was never offered White House press credentials as he claimed he was. Alex Jones now admits he was not offered White House press credentials:
If you are insinuating that Roger Stone has any influence in this, you must have missed the fact that the:
Plausible deniability! That is essentially an irrational statement made in your denialism while refusing to accept an empirically verifiable reality. You simply cannot accept basic facts and concepts that are undisputed and well-supported while you are influenced and in favor of radical and controversial ideas as a defense against your mentally disturbing facts and ideas.
Dead? Pssst - The only thing dead….is you are DEAD WRONG. This canary is alive, well and beautifully singing out TRUTH …
As Gatlin amply demonstrated from Jones' own public statements, he was blatantly lying about being offered press credentials earlier. He lied. He admits it. Case closed. Nothing "tenuous" about it either.

Cute, Attracted the attention of a couple of our cats. LOL I am curious though, what is that band, or whatever, on the canary's right leg ?

Alex Jones: Here’s the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we’ve already been offered them, we’re going to get them …
A day after Jones published that “we’ve already been offered White House credentials” in an online video, Sarah Sanders, White House Deputy Press Secretary said: He [Alex Jones] is not credentialed for the White House. The White House Press Office has not offered him [Alex Jones] credentials.
If Alex Jones was not lying and Alex has already BEEN OFFERED White House credentials….then why did Jerome Corsi report two hours ago on Twitter that he [Jerome Corsi] “will NOW APPLY for White House Correspondence credentials” to represent Alex Jones in Washington?
#20. To: A K A Stone (#19)
Today I get off the air at like three o’clock and they come with a big stack of news, out of -- New York Daily News, The Hill, and I go online and there’s hundreds of ‘em saying Alex Jones lied, Alex Jones wasn’t given White House press credentials, Alex Jones claimed he was, Alex Jones has been caught – like I’m not up there with the beauty queen and beauty king in high school. Man, I got out of high school a long time ago and look he’s lying, he didn’t really get credentials.

Here’s the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we’ve already been offered them.
Sarah Sanders, White House Deputy Press Secretary: The White House Press Office has not offered him [Alex Jones] credentials.
Then Alex Jones walked back his original statement: I pointed out that not once but twice, while I was in D.C., people that – let’s just say worked for President Trump, or had been involved in his election – said, “Hey we love Paul Watson, he’s a rock star, he ought to be up here in the national press corps. Are you going to be moving to D.C.? Are you going to open a bureau? Alex, you ought to be part of this.” So I took that as, yeah, we can get press credentials.
A K A Stone: He was offered them [White House Press Credentials]. Now they apply.
Gatlin:
Like hey do you want this job. Yes I want it. So go apply. When Alex Jones said he took “something as a, yeah, we can get press credentials”….that was simply some wishful thinking on his part that he let become an aspiring expectation. It was not a committed offer “to get White House credentials.”
Definitions:
An aspiring expectation assumptively made by one person should not be construed to be a committed offer made by another person.
EXPECTATION: A belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.
OFFER: Present to accept or reject as so desired.

Last week, Jones claimed that Infowars had been invited to cover White House press briefings. The White House denied those reports, and Jones then claimed he had been taken out of context and was just considering applying for credentials.

Roger Stone ...
Donald Trump's campaign said Saturday [August 8,2015] “it has fired political adviser Roger Stone.”
But you of course surely know that: Roger Stone made quite a mammoth claim that he had been recently poisoned with polonium, the radioactive agent best known for being used to kill Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, because “he has proof that Russia was not behind the hacks of the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta.” Stone made that startling announcement of all places - WAIT FOR IT - on Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
