Also, looking past that spelling mistake, what the hell is a War Room White House? Is that meant to refer to the situation room? The briefing room? Is it that she's in two places at once, the White House and a virtual War Room of whatever media organisation she represents?
Or is it, as I may be forced to suspect, a perpetual state of mind, a designation not in conflict of course with any of the above, but indicative of someone who not only cannot spell their job but is just there to, as the phrase goes, perpetually and obsequiously stir shit?
- War Room is a podcast of Steve Bannon. So she's the White House correspondent for that podcast.
  
  White House correspondent for a fucking podcast. Look where we've arrived at.
  
  That’s not inherently a bad thing, imo. They should be meeting people where they are, and if people listen to podcasts more than watching broadcast news, then they should have correspondents for that medium.
  
  Yep Trump new press sectary said thsy would go beyond legacy media and allow influencer and podcast in on all briefing..
  I am sure it meant only the right wing Podcaster and influencers though. No left wingers will be allowed.
  So this lady and whoever Joe Rogen sends etc.
- IDK if this helps, but at least in IT a "war room" is usually a dedicated and specialized support team temporarily put in place when large changes or updates are rolled out.
  It would make sense for the incoming administration to set up a war room to handle questions, exceptions and comments about both the administration change, and the sweeping (probably illegal) XOs issued by the President.
  Edit: I just looked her up. She is not related to an internal "War Room" but is actually affiliated with Bannon's stupid podcast.
- I think you might be right. She may be one of Eris's representatives in the current administration.
  
  I mean, all hail Discordia, but this isn't how I imagined it.
  
  These are the agents of strife incarnate. Sure, I too love to act as an agent of chaos and oddity and to challenge all that we know, but these are the people who dedicate their lives to causing problems on purpose. These are the people who revel in the confusion and pain of all around them. They argue not to find truth but to argue. They fight not to make a world they think is better but to find another fight.
- Looks to me like the bigger reason she's not the smartest isn't because of spelling, which english is crap at, but that she doesn't understand word order, which is much more concrete.
  "White House War Room Correspondent" would make way more sense
