CNN may win the battle but lose the war.

The news media needs to have rules of their own. Let Trump and Sarah Huckster Sanders know you could walk out any time. Quit putting up with their lies and crap.

not so much about the accidental touching of the intern but rather a sensational diversion. the president could not take the pressure. it was about creating an excuse. undemocratic. prosecute the reporter if indeed it was a criminal offence.

Fake News

There are better things for the Prez to be doing than to concern himself with details of how the press room works in the White House. Mr President: please shift gears. Your job is not in the press office. That whole incident was a trumped up tempest in a tea pot.

JA = Jim Acosta = Jack Ass

He should have been stripped of privileges a long time ago...along with a few more.

Time to make restraining order PERMANENT or throw trump or kelly in jail

WRONG. Acosta's Press Credentials WERE never revoked. WhiteHouse revoked his hard pass access into White house. That doesn't stop Acosta from pretending to be a reporter any where else. Personally I'd have revoked All Press pools Hard pass's and made them wait outside the fence.

Too threatening to DT?

He set all this in motion with his own conduct, and he knows it.

Good !! MAGA

Jim Acosta was rude, obnoxious, disrespectful, arrogant out of order, his behavior totally unacceptable; deserving of being thrown out at that time and until he is able to conduct himself in an orderly manner. Jim Acosta sets a terrible example for our youth, for anyone watching

Doesn’t sound like they’re TRYING to... Sounds like they DID! Big win for adult behavior and accountability!

. The Pure White House is full of lieing cowards. Too afraid of real Americans demanding IQ45 explain his hate and lies. COME ON MUELLER Anxiously waiting

All Acosta has to learn is not to make an ass of himself and everything will be all right.

The Press is trying to weaponize freedom of the press. Saying any response to abuse encroaches on it. Press not above the law, or its norms. Standing on Journalism saying its an attack on our freedom is wrong. Trump has a right to denounce Facism in all its forms, so do we all.

This non journalist Acosta should be sent to Saudi or Turkey......a mouth like his would be...……………...

Acosta is an enemy of the people.

Trump just will not accept that he is NOT a KING! He and his minions are determined to defy the Constitution when it does not suite them. I just want to see Sanders get hers just once and wipe that permanent Sanders family smirk off her face.

It's blatantly obvious that realDonaldTrump is continuing with his vendetta against the press and firstamendment

When will you cover the caravan at Tijuana?

They should. He is an embarrassment tohis profession.

Who cares, take his citizenship too... he is a disgrace. Trump is right.

Trump just doesn't give up on trying to 'break' the Constitution. He continually forgets that it's 'We The People', not 'I The Trump'.

If this Administration spent as much time on doing its job as it does on vengeance and lies 🇺🇸 would be better off

I agree this fight wasn’t about the intern, but rather about Mr. Acosta's behavior toward her and President Trump. How often do you see a reporter act as he did?

When it comes to guns we all stick to the constitution and when it comes to freedom of speech we forget about it...what a shame..double standard..

What if they gave a press conference and no one came, it’s all B. S. Anyway !

if access to the president is a 1a thing, ALL of us should go...

Good I hope they succeed

Hang in there, Jim! Most of America stands behind you, a Free Press & free speech!

Someone who acts like that should be stripped of White House credentials.

They should, this guy thinks he cock of the walk, he needs a serious attitude adjustment. What about when Obama felt he was being disrespected by the press. He voiced his opinion and was applauded. Because he is Mr Trump everything is OK, so unfair and just wrong. Sad!!!

Easy and clearest response: Unless Acosta goes, no one goes. Like a picket line. or just send one pool reporter in case he announces his resignation, but no coverage otherwise. Easy to do and deprives him of attention.

And he is holding his breath and stamping his feet like a toddler. Karma stinks doesnt it?

Good

This is what cowards do, they keep those away that have the integrity to seek the truth, from untruthful cowards.

For the locals who think that Acosta press pass was returned because of the 1A, it was not. The reason that the Whitehouse is returning the pass is due to the process. Once POTUS gives out the new rules, Jim being the dickhead he is will break all the rules

This is so dumb and cnn I feel like you guys are feeding into this nonsense monster because trump clearly loves this crap and it’s a good distraction from everything else

Strip Jim Acosta, wsj & CNN of their press credentials. POTUS should have a press conference with the alternative media only just to Piss the Main Stream Media Off.

Good

Judge only gave Acosta 14 days and WH following their rules

The best idea I've heard was to give credentials to Alex Jones and sit him right next to Acosta...

Here’s a solution. Give him his press pass back. When he steps out of line, cut the microphone. If he continues to interrupt, have him removed by security. Do this daily.

The WhiteHouse doing CNN ‘s job for them. Not a 1A argument. The same people decrying realDonaldTrump ‘s decorum have a wholly different approach to Acosta ‘s lack of decorum. Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

I don't understand why I don't have the right to go into CNN's TV studio, grab their microphones and shout at the the anchors.

Why defend a cheap, common raised, poorly bred, brawler when all press bunch show respect and breeding. Replace him, 1 st won’t wither. But he probably represents same mentality as top CNN , chiefs!

It’s call a hand book and everyone needs to read and sign. Now if any of the principals believe the terms have been violated it’s a write up x 3 you’re out. The beginning of the end for the light weight globalist pundits.

Let's see, Freedom of Press. Does that ring a bell?

Good because he's not a journalist just an attention -seeking clown.

Dude is like the homeless guy in Mc Donald's, has a right to be there but is bad for business

Write the rules for the press in the WH briefing room, never call on him again, let him scream & throw a tantrum, this should get him kicked out.

This is realDonaldTrump and PressSec ‘s infantile way of trying to have control and make themselves feel better, b/c so much else is f’ed up in their worlds. And really Sarah, being interviewed by your father? Y’all are pathetic. ResignNow

Clearly this Whitehouse follows their own personal constitutional laws. FreedomOfThePress JimAcosta PressFreedom

Jim... no one likes you.

Tough...!!!!

Fake news is the enemy of people

These days CNN has only pseudo journalists like Acosta and TV hosts like ChrisCuomo donlemon Where are Peter Arnett, Bernard Shaw and John Holliman when you need them

WhiteHouse PressSecSanders realDonaldTrump The law prevails over the censorship and hissy fits of this administration. I believe in CNN and the First Amendment.

Keeping a Keen eye to see if media propaganda attempts to empower itself against the security interest of the Branch of Government. Talks of the Constitution are secondary when words that amount to great dispute are being contested for validity. Even so; who's Press in the matter

because the incredibly busy potus who can't find the time to go visit the troops seems to find the time to continue to fight this? 🤔 worstpresidentever someone needs to muzzle realdonaldtrump

So, the same guy who called a US Congressman “Schitt” yesterday is offended by Acosta? Right. This administration is the most grotesque group of people imaginable.

Please God, no more acosta.

This is getting funny. Just trolling Acosta and CNN

Because he's a dbag

MAGA just cancel the white house press meetings.

Good.

Oh right, oh yeah, it ain't over, push back, get good, more distractions, more news that has no relevance. Cover Mexicans in Tijuana protesting the caravan. They say the caravan has become a horde of Criminals who have no respect for the town. Break the mold. Break Narrative

Imagine being strip of ur natural human life ! Africans Americans !

First DRUMPF came for them, and I did not speak out— Because I wasn't them Then DRUMPF came for the Others, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an OTHER Then DRUMPF came for ME— and there was no one left to fight with ME

Hey wsj What does it mean when a so-called “journalist” makes himself the story? Have a clue? 🤔

Acosta is an embarrassment to journalism. Keep him in the studio. Maybe he can keep a leash on racists Lemon, Sanders, Rye, Toobin and Powers.

The most important thing is that the story is all about Acosta. Journalism used to be considered a profession.

They can’t handle the truth.

If only the White House had actual work to do.

It must be Monday

The Latest: White House writing up rules for reportersWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the legal challenge to the White House's decision to strip CNN reporter Jim Acosta of his White House press credentials (all times local): 1:20 p.m. President Donald Trump says the White House is 'writing up rules and regulations' for reporters after a judge ordered the administration to restore credentials for CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Trump told reporters Friday that 'people have to behave.' He added that if journalists 'don't listen to the rules and regulations, we will end up back in court and we will win.' Asked what he meant by rules and regulations, Trump said: 'Decorum. You can't take three questions and four questions. And just stand up and not sit down.' Trump said he wants 'total freedom of the press,' but added 'you have to act with respect.' The White House said Friday that it would 'temporarily reinstate' the credentials that were revoked after Acosta and Trump tangled during a press conference last week. 12:40 p.m. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta says all he wants to do is go back to work covering 'the guy in there,' referring to President Donald Trump. More than 50 members of the White House press corps greeted Acosta as he strode through the northwest gate of the presidential compound. A federal judge on Friday ordered the administration to restore the credentials that were revoked after Acosta and Trump tangled during a press conference last week. Acosta says journalists need to know that in the United States their First Amendment rights and freedom of the press 'are sacred' and protected by the Constitution. He says he's grateful for the judge's ruling, that it was a test and he thinks the media passed the test. Acosta says: 'This is just any other day at the White House for me and I would like to get back to work.' I guess reporters will not be permitted ask any questions. They will be expected to listen respectfully as Porkobello and Sanders spew more lies. It will just be another photo-op for the WH with reporters as props. Precedent was set in the Sherrill v Knight case in the 70s. Any trumpies with reading comprehension should look it up. WASTE OF TIME POTUS-THE JUDGE WILL DECIDE

The Latest: Judge delays ruling over White House press passWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the legal challenge to the White House's decision to strip CNN reporter Jim Acosta of his White House press credentials (all times local): 1:15 p.m. A federal judge has delayed until Friday a ruling on whether the Trump administration has to return the White House press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta. U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly isn't offering any explanation for delaying a ruling that had been expected Thursday afternoon. He's set a court date for 10 a.m. Friday. Kelly is a Trump appointee who heard arguments Wednesday from lawyers representing CNN and the Justice Department. The news network is seeking an immediate restraining order that would force the White House to hand back Acosta's credentials, which grant reporters as-needed access to the 18-acre complex. Acosta has clashed repeatedly with Trump and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in briefings over the last two years. The White House revoked the pass following a combative press conference last week, a day after Republicans lost control of the House in midterm elections. WHY!? Trump appointed Judge 👍

White House restores access for CNN's Acosta, ending legal fightThe White House on Monday restored press access for CNN reporter Jim Acosta, end... The courts are our only line of defense against this insane administration that is constantly challenging the rule of law and the very heart of our republic! Resist Appeal it. You don't have a first amendment right to access the white house. There is no fifth amendment issue either as CNN was not barred. only ONE reporter. Send someone else! At a minimum, make everyone sign conduct agreements. If Trump didn't see the writing on the wall he would have never relented!
