CNN Has Played Right Into Trump’s Hands...AGAIN!

[Godboy]

The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press...

That sounds awfully close to claiming that anyone from "the press" ought to have the right (?) to White House credentials.

I'm sure CNN realizes there's only just so much room for representatives of various news organizations. Not everyone can get in. A reporter from our local college newspaper for example, although a dedicated journalist, probably can't get credentials. Seems to me White House credentials for White House provided press briefings in the White House ought to be controlled by, well, the White House. I don't think any news organization can claim a right or entitlement to such credentials. I would be particularly skeptical of such a claim by a "news organization" that had shown such obvious bias that mostly what they put out is well-spun propaganda message and agenda, not news.

I think CNN is going to have to show some inherent right to claim a set of credentials over and above all other news organizations that don't currently have representatives there. Basically an impossible task. They (CNN) are no better, and if falling ratings are any indication probably significantly worse, than any other news organization.

Now to top it all off have that young, pretty intern, that Acosta SLAPPED 2 TIMES make an ASSAULT police report, and have that self centered prick, REALLY be the subject of news tomorrow!

In what has become one of the dumbest stories of the year, CNN sued President Trump Tuesday.

The litigation alleges the White House did not have grounds to revoke the press credential of reporter Jim Acosta, whom Trump berated during a post-election press conference last Wednesday.

“CNN filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration this morning in DC District Court,” read a statement from the network. “It demands the return of the White House credentials of CNN’s Chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta’s First Amendment rights of freedom of the press, and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process. We have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to Jim, and will seek permanent relief as part of this process.”



Not only was the White House unfazed by the lawsuit, they welcomed it.

According to the complaint, CNN made several attempts to reach a resolution with the Trump administration, threatening to sue if Acosta’s credential was not returned.

These threats were ignored, because as far as the White House is concerned, the longer Trump’s feud with Acosta stays in the news, the better. As the Daily Beast points out, several administration officials “have said that they privately celebrate whenever a Trump vs. Acosta narrative emerges in the national press,” as if there’s one front on which the president has consistently won since taking office, it’s his war on the media.

This latest tiff with Acosta is just another skirmish to fall in the president’s favor, even if — or maybe especially if — Acosta is able to return to the White House.

At the same time if one of the biggest news organizations in the country loses credentials, then there's a problem, right?

No, that isnt a problem. If multiple organizations lost credentials, then maybe we could have a debate about it, but just CNN? Nah, not after the way they have behaved.

CNN didn't lose credentials....just one sleazy reporter, Jim Acosta lost HIS credentials....hey CNN, send someone else to cover the president!

Trump doesn’t have to call on Acosta. Neither does the trunt. They do so because they want to pick a fight with him to distract his loser base from all his failures as president*.

Can you list say 25 of his failures, since you feel their are si many, like his GDP, black and Hispanic unemployment, etc?

I'm not going to jump through hoops for an internet troll and give you all 25, but:

1. He promised to unite America
2. he promised to make Mexico pay for the wall.
3. promised to repeal the Obama-era legislation.
4. promised, as late as a January 2017 interview with the Washington Post, was that “we’re going to have insurance for everybody.”
5. he promised, people “can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”
6. promised to raise taxes on the rich
7. promised tax changes that at a minimum wouldn’t benefit the rich
8. promised to break up America’s largest banks by reinstated old Glass-Steagall regulations that prevented financial conglomerates from operating in multiple lines of business.
9. promised price controls on prescription drugs.
10. promised to “take the oil” from Iraq to reduce the financial burden of US military policy.
11. Trump promised many times that he would release his tax returns and promised to put his wealth into a blind trust.
12. Trump vowed rollback of climate change regulations but said he was committed to upholding clean air and clean water goals.
13. promised a $1 trillion infrastructure package.

He has FAILED at each of them.

Oh, he also:

• promised to not take vacations
• promised to not play golf

Again. Another ABNORMALS LIES!....MOSTof these he has presented to Congress only to have them STONEWALL IT....THE ANTI-TRUMP Republicans along with the swamp DemonRATS have killed most of these. The only one I can see is he will NOT release his taxes SEEING THAT THEY WILL BE USED BY HIS DETRACTORS to harass people he has done business with, we have seen this scenario over and over again with Mueller going after Manafort, Stone and others to PUNISH THEM for doing business with Trump.... Or helping Trump,. Since it is NOT A REQUIREMENT, FUCK YOI SCUM WHO ONLY WANT TO PUNISH PEOPLE WITH IRS INVESTIGATIONS AND PERJURY TRAPS.....DON'T REMEMBER THE SAME DSTE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND BOOM, YOU ARE LOCKED UP!!
