CNN gearing up to sue over Jim Acosta's suspended White House press pass
2018-11-11
[Wash Examiner] Yeah, that'll work. Actions have consequences, bitches, and when you send bad actors as your representatives, they don't get in. Nobody's entitled to a Press Pass to the WH.
CNN may be gearing up for a legal battle over the Trump administration's revocation of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's permanent press credentials.

Former ABC News reporter and anchor Sam Donaldson appeared Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources" and said he believed a lawsuit had already been filed.

"I hope I'm not mistaken, but it's my understanding that CNN and Acosta have sued, that there will be a court hearing on Tuesday on this very matter that we've been discussing," Donaldson said.

Host Brian Stelter replied that he was not aware of such a case.

A CNN spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that a lawsuit has not been filed yet. "No decisions have been made. We have reached out to the White House and gotten no response," the spokesperson said.

#6  The White House should respond by blocking all CNN reporters.

#5  I wished that when he blocked her reach, she had lost her balance and fell down and had to be carried out of the room (not injured of course), just carried out.

#4  I've seen the video and I have a hard time calling that assault. But wrestling an intern for the mic is definitely rude behavior and Acosta deserves to be spanked.

It will be amusing to see what legal theory CNN comes up with when/if they file suit. It's not like the White House kicked out *all* their lying scumbag reporters.

If I were the White House, I'd set up a private room for Acosta with snacks, sugary drinks and his own personal live video feed so he can watch the press conferences and not annoy the adults.

#3  Yeah... he committed assault, so their "defense" is to file a civil suit? He's lucky they didn't file criminal charges against him.

#1  Trump and Melonia win these law suits using good, very expensive lawyers so no counter suit is required. Their advïsary having to pay their ĺegal costs bancrupts the stupid plaintifs.
