I just found out last night, they apparently never even revoked Acostas "soft pass" which is what admits him to the press areas. They revoked his "hard pass" which essentially allows him to walk The White House grounds. Effectively this is just Accosta throwing a shitfit over nothing. He never even had his access as a reporter revoked.

This is simple to solve. Simply freeze the idiot in liquid nitrogen and put him on a cart. Then roll him in and out.

He will be quiet and make trouble no more.

CNN's Acosta back at White House after judge's ruling


A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to immediately return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, though a lawsuit over the credentials’ revocation is continuing.

U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly, an appointee of President Donald Trump, announced his decision at a hearing Friday morning. The judge said Acosta’s credentials must be reactivated to allow him access to the White House complex for press briefings and other events.

Acosta, CNN’s chief White House correspondent, was back in the afternoon. The White House said it would be developing new rules for orderly press conferences.


This should be fun. Look at who the judge is. But it isn't over with an ongoing lawsuit.


Cool

Hopefully this leads to new rules about media conduct that will result in avoiding this type of disruption and disrespect to the office in the future.


Thats the thing most people don;t understand about how flimsy this suit was. The White House is not an official government entity. It is literally The President's home. He has no requirement to admit anyone there, that is why the 1st amendment argument was ruled invalid. They did however say he had a 5th amendment protection for due process. I am looking forward to him in court trying to weasel out of explaining how he legally committed an act of assault.

The problem was that he was disruptive, not that he was asking hard or mean questions. He was literally yelling stupid shit when there weren't even questions during the Kim jong un meeting and more.

Thinking about this more, I think Jim Acosta may have just walked into a trap. Think about it. The court says he is entitled to due process. That means a court hearing. What happens in court? You have to testify under penalty of perjury. He is going to have to pick between felony perjury to lie to cover for his behavior which is clearly on video, or he will have to essentially admit to assaulting her. Either way he isn't getting his press pass back for long.

Useless retard rant that aims to distract from actual news;

Changed the title to get the convo back to the topic instead of stupid rants.

Yes, I am sure CNN has zero incentive to cover up for their retarded employees.

The judge, a Trump appointee, declared that precedent had been set that the White House should have given Acosta due process before taking away his credential and that harm to the reporter had already occurred. He said that CNN is likely to succeed on Fifth Amendment grounds and that the harm to Acosta outweighs the government's need for an orderly press conference.

Hopefully this leads to new rules about media conduct that will result in avoiding this type of disruption and disrespect to the office in the future.

And? Who the fuck said Fox had any credibility either? Not me. That lawsuit is going to be thrown out, it has no standing. ZERO.

The left likes to make up its own rules as it goes along... how long do you think the rest of the country is going to tolerate that before they start making their own rules for you personally? You children have no idea what you are playing with for some petty narcissistic obsession. Once the rule of law is gone from all your games you will have about as many rights as a hunted animal.

So now Fox has "incentive to cover up for [CNN's] retarded employees"?

It's an actual Trump-appointed judge in an actual courtroom saying that Acosta should get his pass back and the case is going forward. Pretty much the opposite of "thrown out".

Not sure about the rest of your rant - should I get off your lawn or not?

Maybe take a few minutes and research how few companies own all these media outlets you believe are opposed to each other. They don't serve the public. They serve their owners.

His pass was temporarily reinstated, not under any first amendment right to be there, but because the judge ruled he should have been given due process. So in short, they are going to have some kind of hearing, or who the fuck knows what, demonstrate he committed an act of assault, then revoke it again.

Regarding my "rant" you do whatever the fuck you like, just know you are going to eventually going to have to personally pay for the results of subverting the rule of law. I hope "winning"  was worth it.

Ahaha.


>Judge orders White House to return Jim Acosta's press pass


I guess that Trump's in the wrong here. Who'd thunk?  Roll Eyes


Quote
The ruling by federal judge Timothy J. Kelly was an initial victory for CNN in its lawsuit against President Trump and several top aides. The suit alleges that CNN and Acosta's First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated by last week's suspension of his press pass.

Oh, violating constitutional amendments; that's a paddling.


Quote
In court, Kelly said that Sanders' initial claim that Acosta had inappropriately touched the White House intern who was attempting to take the microphone from him at the news conference was "likely untrue" and "partly based on evidence of questionable accuracy."
Oh, fake news from the whitehouse propagated straight to bitcointalk. Ahahaha.



Quote
The White House Correspondents' Association -- which represents reporters from scores of different outlets -- said the government's stance is "wrong" and "dangerous."

The whole executive administration is a shitshow.

Hey look! More distraction from Democrat crimes and their supporters by creating yet another freak show. I changed my mind, that house staffer should file charges for assault now.

Ya think all these "distractions" would eventually stop. Maybe if Trump would take this piece of advice, they would:


  You are right, Jim Accosta shouldn't have broke the law assaulting that women.
