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.

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.”

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.
MAGA

Reporters sky scream
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."

Being Polite is a foreign notion to most communist Americans 60 and under

True for the God Emperor as well. He’s a clown who can’t engage opposition without insults

I mean the new radical left and their media attack dogs can't seem to engage him without insults.
You go first.

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.

Agreed, they’re trash, but I don’t hear them calling for decorum.

No. They are just whining about potential rules about decorum.
I remember press conferences that had tough questions without being assholes and without grandstanding. Let's do that again.

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.

I believe they are simply referring to it being made into a slow motion GIF.
They are right but it's a stupid argument.

You all brought it on yourselves and it's hilarious.

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.

Trump's willingness to address base invectives and baseless innuendos with ignoble responses sets him apart from his predecessors, at least since Truman. But the key there is in the term "responses".
Trump is and has been the target of the most vicious press attacks since Adams ran against Jefferson. Unlike that example though, perverse attacks on Trump have continued unabated past the campaign. It is unprecedented.
He's been targeted by an attempted political coup. So yes, his responses are ugly. They are untraditional. They occasionally border on uncouth. But they are responses, and they are responses in kind.
They are responses to a press so hideous that it engages not just Trump with grotesque, disgusting derisions, but also his wife, his preadolescent son, and the rest of his family.
It is very telling that within such an environment, you'd chose to single out Trump as a "clown".
