Acosta belligerently refused to yield the microphone to a White House staffer and pushed her arm away as she reached for the device, all of which was captured on video.
Acosta has access to the White House, the same every other opinion writer or op-ed writer has.
The document states "The lack of a hard pass does not prevent Mr. Acosta - much less CNN- from reporting on the White House."
Although the media howled on those rare occasions when reporters barked questions at then-President Obama at White House pressers without being called upon, now some journalists are circling the wagons to protect the boorish Acosta.
CNN asserts the puzzling claim that the banishment of Acosta violates the constitutional guarantees of freedom of the press and due process, implying Acosta has a right to attend White House events no matter how outrageous, disruptive, or inappropriate his behavior.
In Vanity Fair, Joe Pompeo hailed Acosta for bringing "a performative brio to his role" and for "His truth-to-power moments." The "Fantastic television" Acosta has provided has "Made him a journalistic folk hero in some quarters of the reality-based community".
After Mr. Acosta asked the President two questions-each of which the President answered-he physically refused to surrender a White House microphone to an intern, so that other reporters might ask their questions.
