WASHINGTON—Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has defended his recent comments about the media, saying that having journalists stationed at the White House is a “bad model” that breeds “adversarial behavior.”

“Having very, very sophisticated, very smart, very energetic people who spend most of their days sitting and waiting is a really bad model and leads people, I think, to have an adversarial behavior,” he said.
