White House pulls CNN Acosta’s pass

Yeah, I don’t knor. There’s no winning.

I don’t think I’ve ever replied to someone and decided I couldn’t handle it if they replied back. Seems to go against the very concept of the discussion forum.

Acosta didn’t assault anybody, no matter how many altered videos you want to show.

He should have body slammed her, then trumpists would fall in line

Very glad to see this. Somebody needs to speak up to tTrump for the way he’s been acting with the press. Hopefully this is just the start.

Trump’s lawyer: Your honor, may I present exhibit A, an VERY unedited video from InfoWars. It clearly shows Acosta Karate chopping our female intern. As you can see the impact is so severe it forces her to her knees, if it may please the court.

So you expect more decorum from reporters than from the President of the United States.

Got it.

Trump doesn’t have to President the way you want him to.

I missed the part where I commented on how I’d like him to President.

Posters not agreeing with you is now dogpiling.

The translation of “will not be dog piled any more” is “I need an echo chamber.”

CNN counsel explains the grounds for the lawsuit. The argument is based on the First and the Fifth Amendment. They say – and I agree – that the White House has hassled Acosta (and others for that matter) for asking questions they didn’t want asked. That’s not how it works.

It is the President’s conference to conduct, not CNN’s.

I understand CNN is filing a suit. I encourage them to double down on stupid.

ATT usually doesnt lose these type of lawsuits.

well that what we have a federal court system.

True. But they don’t get to assault women if they want a press pass.

Acosta didn’t assault anybody, no matter how many altered videos you want to show.

Sure he did.

I’m sure you’ll agree with the judges opinion when he shows you you’re wrong. Infowars and Alex Jones aren’t credible my friend.

According to FOX news CNN has filed a lawsuit.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnn-files-lawsuit-against-trump-administration-to-restore-jim-acostas-white-house-credential

“The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process,” CNN said in a statement. “We have asked the court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass to be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process.”

So what rights were violated again?
