while "the offices of press secretary Karoline Leavitt and other top communications officials in the West Wing" are a wretched hive of scum and villainy, where you'll only be fed lies and insulted, so journalists not going there seems no great loss.

I seriously wonder why news organisations quote Trump or his lackeys much at all, because they lie so often, and are also so ignorant, that pretty much nothing they say can have any value.
