"The old way of doing business in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House is now over -- and the Associated Press is not happy about it.
The legendary wire service, founded in 1846, is usually the press secretary's first pick at White House briefings.
"In the Trump administration, mainstream media is about to see its long-standing media monopoly broken up and they're petrified."
But under President Donald Trump's new administration, White House press secretary Sean Spicer has so far not called on AP for the first question.
On Monday, Spicer called first on a reporter from the New York Post, a conservative tabloid. That brought some murmuring from the mainstream media. Trump and Spicer had disrupted the normal media "pecking order" at White House briefings.
On Tuesday, the pecking order was disrupted again when Spicer called on a LifeZette reporter first. Liberal journalists on Twitter erupted with characteristic indignation.
But the normally staid AP, sensing Trump and Spicer might be establishing a new way, joined the whine-fest and lashed out Tuesday night with an error-filled report on this relatively minor Beltway process story.
Without contacting LifeZette editors or the reporter himself, the AP filed a story on Tuesday night that made clear the press agency doesn't like the new kid on the block.
"White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer took the first question at his briefing Tuesday from a reporter who works for LifeZette, a website founded by Donald Trump supporter Laura Ingraham that published some untrue stories during the 2016 presidential campaign," the AP wrote."

Tears from the establishment clowns.
The video of Spicer is a fun watch.
