Acosta gets the boot from White House

[K Frame]

White House is apparently saying that once the judge's TRO expires Acosta will have to surrender his press credentials again.

According to Twitchy, Acosta will now have to follow some rules.

Please be advised of the following rules governing future press conferences:

(1) A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;

(2) At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permtted; and where a follow-up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor;

(3) "Yielding the floor" includes, when applicable, physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner;

(4) Failure to abide by any rules (1)-(3) may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist's hard pass.

Works for me.

I think the White House made a brilliant move. They're letting Acosta hang himself.

They didn't try to fight it out in court. Rather, they formally codified the rules and issued a neutrally-worded statement spelling out what had generally been the "understood" rules all along.  I'm betting they will rigidly enforce them, at least for a while. Acosta will play nice for a week, maybe two. Then, when he thinks they've gone on to other things, he'll revert to his usual jackassery. That's when they have him dead to rights and CNN can't pull another "find a judge who agrees with us" stunt.

Nah; there have to be a couple of gaming newsletters that can provide obese, disturbingly hairy "reporters" with poor hygiene he can be wedged between.

I thought Helen Thomas died...
