"A White House official ordered a CNN reporter to give up her front-row seat and move to the back of the press room before President Trump’s briefing on Friday, in what appears to be another attempt by Trump to punish a network he calls “fake news.”
The reporter, CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, refused to move, as did a second reporter whose seat in the rear of the room she was ordered to take. The official then suggested the matter would be resolved by the Secret Service, though no action was taken, according to several people involved in the episode...
The WHCA has managed press access to the room for decades, with few objections from the White House. But the White House has unilaterally sought to assert its authority over reporters twice in the past month.
Over the WHCA’s objections and in violation of social distancing measures, the president earlier this month gave preferential access to a reporter from the One America News Network. The small cable network has a history of favoring Trump in its reporting...
As Collins tried to ask a follow-up question, Trump interrupted her.
“No, that’s enough,” he said, adding, “The problem is, you don’t write the truth.” Collins continued to press, but Trump replied, “No, not CNN. I told you, CNN is fake news. Don’t talk to me.”...
In comments on CNN Friday, Acosta called the White House’s tactics on the seating issue “Soviet-style [and] totalitarian-like.” He said it took “almost an act of civil disobedience [by Collins and Johnson] to foil the White House’s plans.”"
Now he's not going to give updates at the daily pressers.

Aw, how will we get by w/o the 'inject disinfectant' musings of the stable genius?!?!?!??!
Bullies. Stand up to them when you can. They often back down like the cowards they are.
