The situation is akin to having a “sword hanging over our heads,” said New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker. “It leaves this idea that they are going to be the judge of who gets to cover them based on some probably arbitrary criteria that they will be the only ones to determine.”

He added, “The idea that suddenly you’re going to try to determine who is polite enough to ask the president questions is just kind of ridiculous.”


If YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and google can decide based on arbitrary criteria who gets to criticize the left on their platforms....

Whatever I don’t even care. I’m just laughing my arse off at these crying journos.

Trump's Rules of Order For The Press

It's sad that these bozos need to be told how to act at a press conference.

Reporters sky scream
Every media outlet took up for Acosta's antics, and demanded his reinstatement. Even Fox falsely cited the Acosta video as "doctored".

Rules of decorum in WH Press Briefings were needed, and a long time in coming.

Goes to the old adage, "Beware what you demand. You just might get it."

Jim Acosta was out of line. That was not a protest...it was a White House press briefing. I know it’s unusual to feel the need to have any sort of decorum to Trump bc the walking orders are “RESIST”. They believe the ends justify the means.

So keep complaining you pussies. No one is trying to take away your constitutional rights.

And there’d be none of this is Acosta hadn’t been a little bitch, or if y’all hadn't all backed his antics.

Got what you asked for.

 It was Trump and Sanders, after all, who escalated the Acosta situation after a dispute at a news conference by yanking his press pass and, to justify it, pointing to an apparently altered video of his interaction with a White House aide. 


What altered video are they talking about? Wasn't this debunked a week ago? Yet they dishonestly continue to report that the video was altered. Friggin pathetic, but par for the course....

Don't blame Trump and Co.

Blame Jim Acosta, CNN, and the judge that ruled on the PI.

What a bunch of malcontent pansies. Their precious poster child has been saved from the fate worse than death of not being invited to the party.

Acosta's antics made him the squeaky wheel, now they're crying about which grease gets applied. They didn't say that CNN isn't allowed to cover the WH, just that this one asshat was uninvited because he can't act professionally. That's not unreasonable for any occupation.

It's not like Trump had him executed, FFS.

Dubya and Obama had the reporters and questions ahead of time with pre planned answers on a teleprompter.

This is a sick joke that rules will be followed is making the MSM so angry.

What really gets me is that they treat NFL players or World Series post-game pressers with more dignity than a White House press conference. Somehow, in their minds, men playing a GD game for a living are more deserving of respect and deference than the President of the United States.

This was my first thought as well. Keep silent about all the things happening to the vast majority right leaning people and groups, and the media is quiet. This is simply to good of a melt and their tears are salty.

Trump’s just implementing a little common sense journalist control.

They should abandon the press conferences. Probably better for everyone. They (the press) take from them what they want to fit their narrative, regardless of what was actually said. So, screw them. Acosta can go sit on his hands in the press room.

So, it's exactly like hate speech laws in Canada and Europe and hate speech codes on US college campuses?

Interesting... I wonder if theres a take away here...
