Yeah, but even fox backed cnn on this. I say have him at the conferences for 2 weeks and only call on him. Shut out all the other media that backed cnn. They basically said one reporter had the right to be an asshat and monopolize the whole conference so let it be.

If Acosta is back and I am Sarah Sanders I would get things in order at the first press conference he attends.
I would say "Before we begin I have something to say to everyone . What we do here is a question and answer format. It is NOT a
venue for debate or for anyone in attendance to present their opinion on any subject we are answering your questions on. You are allowed here to ask questions so that you may report the news. You ask and I answer, the end. Your questions will be answered within the boundaries of what is required for our National security and to the best of my ability with the information I have available to me. I expect everyone to conduct themselves in a professional and civilized manner so that everyone attending has an equal opportunity to take information away from this meeting. Any disturbances, attempts to monopolize the floor, continued talking over others and you will be asked to leave. If asked to leave and you do not comply, appropriate and reasonable means will be employed as they have been employed in the past to remove you from the room. Now I will take questions ".
Besides getting the ground rules established this would be a wonderfully loud slap in the face to the "ass" in attendance who precipitated the situation in the first place. And I think she would be wise to call on Acosta occasionally. Not often, but enough to give him a chance to hang himself.
