re: #177 Gus

Point of clarification from a former newspaperman: the White House is a beat, the WH press corps are beat reporters. A “beat” is a reporter’s area of specialization: police beat, education beat, etc.

Maybe the tweet means to replace the “expert” WH press corps with a rotating crew of general assignment reporters, i.e., those who don’t yet have beats. Sounds like a colossally stupid idea from a journalistic standpoint.
