CNN Showing Their Ignorance

They’re now SUING the White House, saying it has “violated the constitutional rights of Jim Acosta by taking away his press pass.” What stupidity this exposes, and it is nothing but a “grandstand play” for more publicity because they have NO CHANCE of winning anything. The power to issue a press pass presupposes the power to REFUSE to issue a pass. That is, in NO WAY a constitutional right for Acosta. His pass was removed FOR CAUSE. He continually monopolized the press conference, stopping other reporters from being able to ask their questions. He laid hands on a White House intern in refusing to give up the microphone. They did NOT refuse CNN access. They are free to send another reporter, who is better behaved. Or he/she will have the pass rejected, too. Acosta works HARD to make the story about himself. Maybe he hopes to get a raise from CNN. He certainly figures they won’t fire him for these antics, or he wouldn’t do them. Acosta is NOT a “journalist.” He is a troublemaker from beginning to end, and President Trump is fed up with him. President Trump has the RIGHT to limit access to his press conferences to those who do not disrupt them. CNN needs to get rid of Acosta. Lest THEY lose their PRIVILEGE of attending those press conferences. (American Action News)
