CNN says White House preparing to eject reporter Jim Acosta again |
2018-11-20 |
[DAWN] CNN said on Monday it asked for a new emergency hearing to allow its news hound Jim Acosta to remain at the White House, saying officials are threatening to again revoke his press pass. The statement from the cable news channel came just three days after a federal judge ordered the White House to allow Acosta's return citing a lack of "due process" ‐ without ruling on CNN's argument that the ejection violated constitutional free press guarantees. CNN said it received a letter on Friday, hours after the judge's ruling, indicating the White House planned to revoke Acosta's press pass again after the 14-day temporary restraining order expires. "The White House is continuing to violate the First and Fifth Amendments of the constitution," the network said in a statement on Sunday. "These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations. Jim Acosta and CNN will continue to report the news about the White House and the president." |

#11 These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations. A free press, not free reporters. Replace Acosta with an adult. |

#10 Tell them press statements will be released in Tweets. Especially since they now want to be able to edit (meaning insert racist, sexist, or other bad comments) the press statements. |

#7 No, let Acosta back in. Never, ever call on him. Make him sue to insist on his "right" to be called on. |
