A brouhaha erupted from media outlets after the White House barred Kaitlan Collins, a White House correspondent for CNN, from attending a public appearance by President Trump in the Rose Garden on Wednesday.

The Trump Administration was attacked despite the fact, as The Daily Wire has reported, there was ample reason to bar Collins from the event, and the White House was clear that other reporters from CNN were welcome.

But the outrage directed against the Trump Administration for an action that in retrospect seems logical was nowhere to be found when the Obama Administration mistreated reporters over its long tenure. One determined Twitter user went to great lengths to document the abuses perpetuated by the Obama Administration against journalists:

12/17/09 President Obama ordered air attack on village of al Majala in Yemen’s southern Abyan province killing 14 women and 21 children. The blame was wrongly placed on Yemen until Shaye exposed the facts, which landed him in jail according to @amnesty https://t.co/JA6B1MWc4C pic.twitter.com/HjbpW4NNMt
