Trump Sends CNN to ‘Siberia’ Press Section of Rose Garden: ‘We Were Put In Time Out’
The Wrap ^ | 9 Jun 2016 | Itay Hod

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.

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 …

Isn’t there a park across the street from the Whitehouse. Be a good spot for CNN.

It’s a wonder a non-journalistic propaganda organization is even allowed in the room. And of course someone has to sit in the less desirable section, what the hell is so special about CNN that it shouldn’t be them? Who the f do they think they are?

They (CNN) should never be treated like they are a legitimate news organization.

That looked like ABC White House Correspondent John Karl.

Anyway I wonder if Karl simply got mixed up, since it makes no sense for an executive branch employee to ask a president for a loyalty oath, and it makes no sense to ask that question in public if there is no foundation for it in the public domain.
Maybe Trump tripped him up by suggesting earlier that the networks were all mean to him?

I didn’t think roses would be able to grow in Siberia. On the other hand, it gives them a glimpse of the gulags Hillary! would have sent conservatives to for re-education had she been elected.

Trump should have an outhouse built behind the White House.

And then have Crap News Network put in that outhouse for every Trump news conference and every briefing by Sean Spicer.

Could be worse. In other times and locations, they would be lined up and summarily executed for treason.

They should thank their lucky stars that the Constitution applies to them, as well.
