Incoming Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Newsmax on Friday that much of President-elect Donald Trump’s success was recognizing that “the American public is no longer listening to the legacy media.”
Leavitt joined host Rob Schmitt in studio who noted that the incoming Trump administration will allow more independent media into the White House press briefing room. Leavitt said that it all has to do with how the modern audience consumes their information.
“I will say this, the American people are clearly digesting their news in very different ways than they were in 1980, when the president at the time handed over the briefing room seating chart to the white House Correspondents Association. We respect tradition and precedent. With that said, there is certainly a need for new voices in that room and outside non-traditional media thinkers who the American people are listening to,” Leavitt said during an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
