Kind of like a set of rules for sixth graders.

[max americana]

“”We have created these rules with a degree of regret.”

LOL. The same “regret” I get when i stomp on cockroaches..

[Celtic Conservative]

Careful what you ask for, MSM

CC

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

They do not act like professionals.

[OKSooner]

IOW “If you don’t like it you might take it up with your buddy Acosta.”

[JohnBrowdie]

what we used to refer to as “journalism” ceased to function decades ago; it has certainly been dead for the last 10 years.

[Berlin_Freeper]

and make them ask in sign language.

[GotMojo]

need a time out space in the corner.......

"...yield the floor / surrender the microphone..."

The microphone should suspended on a heavy steel cable connected to a strong boom. If they keep talking, the microphone gets reeled.
If they grasp onto the microphone, carry them (high above the gathered journalists) and lower the jabbering nitwit into waiting security at back of the room.

[GotMojo]

for kicks, Sarah should read the “Acosta” rules before every daily briefing, and Trump should come to the first several sessions.......

[shelterguy]

Rule 4....NEVER call on cnn. EVER.

[Pollard]

Ya think class clown Acosta will be able to abide by these rules?

[vigilence]

As so often happens, the misbehavior of one screws it up for the many. But watch, follow up questions will become two distinct questions unless denied by the moderator consistently.

“Kind of like a set of rules for sixth graders.”

My first thought as well.

[bigbob]

And call on Acosta first, one and done, no follow up. Any violations, have his ass hauled out right away, then proceed. Repeat at every press conference until he shows he has learned the desired behavior.

Its called “breaking him”.

[bigbob]

Second graders, sixth graders are way more mature.

[freedumb2003]

They have reconfigured the WH Briefing Room for acosta:

[rigelkentaurus]

Should have included:

5. When asking a question, no statements are allowed, just the question.

6. If not directly called on, asking a question out of turn is not allowed.

[citizen]

Good luck with the one question, occasional follow-up rule.
Hope they enforce it.
