Whitehouse suspends CNN reporter press pass

[eleganz]

I thought he wasn't rough with the young lady though still very disrespecting and humiliating for himself, he just looks like a child that isn't done playing with his trucks.

He should've had his WH credentials pulled when he disrupted Trump and Kim's summit talk. American reporters lobbing political grenades during tense nuclear sensitive meetings is just stupid. He should've been fired by CNN on the spot for that kind of behavior on the international stage. But Jim Acosta is CNN's very own walking talking virtue signal.

appears there is legal precedent that a white house press pass can't be revoked without due process

https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ality-revoking-jim-acostas-press-pass/575479/

"The new steps enunciated in the Sherrill decision to ensure that reporters’ First Amendment rights are not violated include the requirement to give the reporter notice and the right to rebut a formal written decision, which must accompany any revocation. “We further conclude that notice, opportunity to rebut, and a written decision are required because the denial of a pass potentially infringes upon First Amendment guarantees,” the court’s ruling states. “Such impairment of this interest cannot be permitted to occur in the absence of adequate procedural due process.”"

If you open the video in Photoshop you can see the layers.

Judicial overreach, SCOTUS will put an end to it if they are foolish enough to pursue it.

Meanwhile Trump named a CNN commentator to take over his Justice Department.



"Put his hands on an intern"? He did not lay hands on her. Fake news. Fox News claimed he pushed her. Video:

actually he did ....he karate chopped her arm. I watched it multiple times. He wouldnt shut the hel l up, after trying to bring up "carvan" and race issue as usual. What is there to DEBATE about illegal immigration , at this point? COME check out my state if you want to see how fucked up it is.

Karate chop.

The scenarios are different. In that case Sherrill it was the application process that was not following due process and Sherrill was never giving a WH pass or explaination for his application denial. In Acoster's case, he's had a pass for many years, and due to his behavior and actions his pass is revoked. There is no question why it was revoked, maybe he deserves a formal statement but you can't site the Sherril case saying it supports Acoster when it is categorically different.

True, Trump does not act classy and presidential like Reagan. However, no one at CNN acts classy like Walter Cronkite.

Maybe Acosta should have grabbed her by the pussy instead.

And since this is all just a sideshow farce anyway, it would at least have been more entertaining if he had used a WWE-style suplex instead of that lame-ass excuse for a "karate chop" ...

He's not a celebrity star billionaire, no woman would let him do it anyways. He could be like his CNN buddies Anderson cooper and Don lemon and prefer the company of men.

Like a WWE fight, I am not taking sides. Acosta didn't assault the intern. However, Acosta is a jackass, and so is Trump.

You should take sides.
Jim was given a fair amount of time for questions, and refused to give the mike up.
Why should Jim get more talking time than anyone else?
Is he special? Is he asking those tough questions that speak truth to power?

Some of you so-called fence sitters are so phony.

 

[UWDude]

If it's Luke Rudowski up there, I think he would be right to be rude, and ask President Trump real, hard hitting, truth to power questions.


But we're talking about Jim Acosta here. He is sleazy, selfish, and unprofessional. He is not allowed to hog up the press briefing time.

BTW, Trump has by far been the most transparent and open president. He does not shy away from the press. He has endured more B.S. from the press than the past few presidents combined. And I mean he has given more press conferences, talked to the pres, more than any other president, ever. Even though all they ever ask about is Russia and whatever the other "scandal de jour" is.

So to say you aren't taking sides, "cuz its WWE, they all the same, dur hurr" is just ridiculous.

LOL. I am not fence sitting. I genuinely could give a shit less about this show. Trump had every right to take his pass. However Acosta didn't assault her and I am not going to give it a second thought other than in this silly discussion. If you want to dwell on it for the rest of the year, be my guest. It's still a somewhat free country. Otherwise don't act like I'm obligated to care.
