CNN seems to have forgotten the old adage, "Be careful what you wish for." After filing suit over the revocation of Jim Acosta's hard pass to the White House and winning, that network's media beat reporter is upset. Speaking on CNN's Newsroom, Brian Stelter seems certain that danger lurks in the new open and transparent rules provided by the White House in response to the judge's demand for due process on decisions over revocation of access to press conferences or the White House.
Joe DePaolo of Mediaite writes:
Brian Stelter stated his belief that nothing has been resolved, and the White House will use their battle with Acosta as something of a message to other reporters.
"I think that the White House wants to string this along, wants to make this a threat that looms over the entire White House press corps," Stelter said.
The Reliable Sources host referred to a letter the White House sent Acosta informing him of ground rules for behavior at future press conferences.
Here are the rules that Stelter finds worrisome:

Per White House letter to Acosta on Nov. 19, here are the new rules for press conferences at the White House. pic.twitter.com/a6C2pmLv2K — ErikWemple (@ErikWemple) November 19, 2018
The rules are absolutely commonsensical, and they work to allow more correspondents access to questioning the president or other official speaking that day. If a follow-up question is necessary and not permitted, then other correspondents can step up and push for answers. If no one does so, then maybe the question was not that compelling in the first place.

Good one.
Fine, cancel all pressers. Turn the press room into a room for Barron’s Christmas train set.
Only 9% of Americans respect the press... Nine percent? That must be the number of active ‘journalists’ and their mothers’a and grandmothers.
Press treats them like shit...so treat the press like shit. It’s not like the can make up anymore fake news that people will believe. And it may push the press over the edge even further to be more stupid and outlandish.
...along with the mentality of the Fourth Grade.
Thanks for that. Imagine if that was taught in school - very subversive hate speech /s
