The White House has released its press pool rotation for the first full week of February, and patriots should take note: conservative and independent media outlets are firmly planted in the briefing room rotation, signaling that President Trump's commitment to breaking the legacy media stranglehold remains rock solid.
A New Era of Media Access
The rotation schedule for February 2-8, 2026, features a diverse lineup that would have been unthinkable during the Biden years. While the usual suspects—CNN, NBC, ABC—maintain their traditional slots, they're now sharing space with outlets that actually report the news fairly: One America News (OAN), Newsmax, Daily Wire, Gateway Pundit, Daily Caller, and the Daily Signal all have designated spots throughout the week.
Remember when the Biden regime worked hand-in-glove with Big Tech and mainstream media to suppress stories and silence conservative voices? Those days are done. The Trump-Vance administration understands that the American people deserve access to reporters who will ask real questions—not softball setups designed to make Democrats look good.
The Full Breakdown
The rotation showcases a balanced approach that legacy media gatekeepers never would have permitted. Monday features CBS and CNBC on television, with Daily Wire handling new media duties. By Saturday, Gateway Pundit—an outlet that was practically blacklisted during the previous administration—takes the new media slot alongside CBS, EWTN, and National Journal.
This is what Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles have been building: a press operation that doesn't bow to the coastal elite media establishment.
What This Means for You
For everyday Americans who were sick and tired of watching a biased press corps carry water for the left, this rotation is proof that elections have consequences—good ones. The outlets that fought to tell the truth during years of censorship and suppression now have equal footing with networks that spent years pushing Russia hoaxes and covering up Hunter Biden's laptop.
The White House has made clear that any outlet interested in joining the pool can reach out directly. That's transparency. That's access. That's what America First looks like in action.
The mainstream media monopoly is broken, folks. And it's not coming back.
