CNN has filed a lawsuit against Trump and several of his aides
« on: November 13, 2018, 04:40:02 PM »
CNN reports, "CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several of his aides, seeking the immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's access to the White House.

"The lawsuit is a response to the White House's suspension of Acosta's press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass," last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN's First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.

"CNN filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration this morning in DC District Court," CNN's statement read. "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."

The White House Correspondents' Association said it "strongly supports CNN's goal of seeing their correspondent regain a US Secret Service security credential that the White House should not have taken away in the first place."

"While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone," the network said. "If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials."

With Trump it is one thing after another. In five days he unconstitutionally appointed an A.G. attack dog then later said he didn't know the guy. He went to Paris and went out of his way to embarrass himself. Now he is being sued for his attack on the free press and the threat that there will be more such attacks based on past behavior. "The media is the enemy of the people."

The suit has been assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, so there will probably be a lotta lawyers getting fat on the inevitable appeal as well.

Still, other than sending some guys to the WH with Louisville Sluggers, what else should CNN do?

They could start properly reporting valid news items and stop editorializing and opinion making...

Why single CNN out?  If you're gonna cherrypick the big media boys for opinion making, start with King Rupert's network.

Or is he a pal of yours or something?
