Things sure are changing in the White House press corps. According to a video posted on Wednesday, radio show host Alex Joness 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:
Heres the deal, I know I get White House credentials, weve already been offered them, were going to get them, but Ive just got to spend the money to send somebody there. I want to make sure its even worth it. I dont want to just sit there up there like m in the media, look our people are there. People dont understand this paradigm, were 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. Whats 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 wasnt even elected. Thats why you say theres fraud. So theyre like little kids up there. These arent real journalists. Meanwhile, its 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 theyre 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 theyre 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
