This comes from the gossip section of the NY Post.
I had to take drug tests (urinate into a cup for testing) when I worked as a computer programmer in corporations a few decades ago. The author below refers to this as the new "yellow journalism." Well put.

Drug testing floated for White House press corps
by Richard Johnson

One proposal on dealing with the media that was pitched to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team calls for drug testing the White House press corps.
Trump’s attacks on the mainstream media were a cornerstone of his campaign and last week he called BuzzFeed a "failing pile of garbage,” but forcing reporters to undergo random drug tests would provoke a media meltdown.
The pee-in-a-cup proposal (yellow journalism indeed) was one of 13 ideas one candidate for White House press secretary wrote in November in a confidential memo to members of the Presidential Transition Team’s Executive Committee.
He didn’t get the job, and I am not naming him because his proposal could harsh the mellow of his fellow journalists.
