Forget Russia, CNN is stuck in Siberia.
Reporter Jim Acosta made note of the fact that his network was relegated to the “Siberia” section of the Rose Garden during President Trump’s press conference with Romanian president Klaus Iohannis Friday, quickly adding, “no pun intended.”
“The question has be to be raised whether or not this White House was retaliating against CNN,” Acosta later told Wolf Blitzer during an on-air crosstalk.

Jim Acosta
Typically, all U.S. TV networks are grouped in same area during news conferences. CNN was placed well off to the side, behind Romanian press https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/873275230827024386 …

Gas may be cheaper elsewhere you may have been paying for the cable charge too, they should at least give you channel options! Out here in CA there’s no TV just an extra $1.00 a gallon at least
He should have them barred from White House grounds based on the fact that they aren't a real news organization.

In Central Pennsylvania, coal mining country, we would have put them in the out house and closed the door.
This guy has to raise that question? Gosh, he's a numbskull.
They don’t even have any real news anymore - if they do it’s already old or halfway down the website page.
Right now they don’t have anything about the people killed in the Amsterdam car wreck - ppl on Zero Hedge were commenting that it WAS a Muslim, who knows.
The Romanian press is probably more trustworthy and accurate.
CNN is a “matter”
Lets see..CNN calls for President Trump’s assassination, they trash him and call him Hitler every single day and dedicate HOURS and HOURS to calling him the worst thing since cancer..and they are SHOCKED, just SHOCKED that Trump doesn’t like them, gee I wonder what they might have done to cause Trump to not like them/sarc
Let our press coup members watch on TV and maybe learn some manners.
I was thinking they could be seated in sections according to relevance. The media that asks pertinent questions to the front. The people that editorialize with their questions or rehash questions that have already been answered, or promote anonymous, unsubstantiated rumors go to back section.
That’s exactly how it should work. The Romanian press asked real questions, the American press didn’t at all.

I hope they were ‘retaliating’
I would have pulled Acosta’s press credentials months ago
The media is guilty of sedition...they shouldn’t even be allowed on White House grounds.
Assign seats by number for example [1 .. 99]. Then as each reporter comes in, they get a numbered ball from a bingo machine with 99 balls. This determines which seat they get. So the front row could have The Podunk Gazette, if they draw the right number. They could also use the bingo machine to determine who gets to ask the next question. Fairness for all.
In specific, this is how Obama phrased his attack on his opposition; "And so, if we’re going to change how John Boehner and Mitch McConnell think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news."
