White House to charge reporters for COVID test, sparks outrage


The White House will reportedly begin charging reporters $170 for coronavirus tests upon entry into "The People’s House," first reported the Washington Post. The White House Correspondents Association, which represents journalists working in the presidential press corp, has taken issue with the new fees, reported the Post. "It sets up a means test for White House coverage," a member of the Correspondents Association reportedly said on the condition of anonymity. The White House Correspondents Association did not immediately respond to Fox News regarding the changes. "If this goes into effect, it would effectively ban multiple entire outlets," Anders Hagstrom, White House correspondent for the Daily Caller added.
