CNN sues White House for revoking Jim Acosta's press pass.

[Illmatic94]

Acosta "was not nice to that young woman," Trump said in remarks to reporters Friday, but "I don't hold him for that because it wasn't overly, you know, horrible."

but Trumpers said he karate chopped her arm so hard it almost fell off..

anyway I actually agree with banning him. the guy doesn't know how to take turns asking questions.

A douchebag reporter and a douchebag president. They deserve each other.

The biggest part out of this whole story is the use of doctored video. Not only should people be seeing the inside of jail for taking part in that, but the officials defending it should be tried as traitors to their country.

Zoomed in and slowed down is not doctored.

Unless you’re talking about another video.

Edited does not mean doctored. You can edit a video to put an emphasis on a specific part, but it’s still representative of the actual truth, while doctored is to alter to represent something false.

Wait, this lawsuit is just to get his pass back. Give that clown his pass back, he looks dumber when he's talking.

LMFAO!!!

You just knew an NPC was gonna come in here repeating that refuted weak sauce excuse.

Silly guy didn't realize that talking point was already refuted, so he walked himself into a trap there.

Yup. Not much brain matter behind the keyboard.

The guy who came up with that NPC meme was absolutely brilliant.

That is pure genius!!

It so hits the nail on the head, and just describes them perfectly.

Fox News is backing up CNN's White House lawsuit
12:28p.m.

Fox News is taking press room solidarity to a new level.

After President Trump's administration stripped Jim Acosta, CNN's chief White House correspondent, of his press pass last week, the network filed a lawsuit alleging a handful of Trump officials violated Acosta's First and Fifth Amendment rights. And in a Wednesday statement, Fox News President Jay Wallace revealed the network would file an amicus brief on CNN's behalf.

At a Nov. 7 press briefing the morning after Election Day, Acosta refused to give up his microphone after Trump blew off his questions about the migrant caravan. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later accused Acosta of "placing his hands on" an intern who tried to take the microphone, and tweeted a doctored video of the incident. Sanders didn't mention the allegation again on in a Wednesday statement.

Fox News was the first to announce it would file brief to support CNN's lawsuit on Wednesday, and a gaggle of press organizations quickly followed.

Fox News previously sided with CNN after reporter Kaitlan Collins was banned from a Rose Garden event in July. Fox News' Bret Baier also supported CNN after a February 2017 press room banning, comparing it to when CNN and The New York Times backed Fox News after former President Barack Obama's administration tried to block the network from a press event.

[THE REED]

Was actually somewhat surprised to see Fox back up CNN on this.

[Left Hook Tua]

Wasn't this idiot shouting garbage when Trump met with Kim Jong also? **** him.. he constantly disrespects the President.. Sanders.. His own fellow reporters

He wants those press conferences to be all about him.. he isn't interested in news/reporting.. he just wants to be the center of attention

He was screaming at Kim Jong un about a guy he had killed.

Kim Jong un doesn't speak English afaik.

So it was just attention seeking again.
