Law CNN suing trump for Jim Acosta ban

[BoxingFan653]

per their front page

Jim Acosta is what happens when you tell every child that they’re special and give them 18th place trophies

 

[MikeMcMann]

And they will win.

And all the other media outlets should join the suit.

 

[TheComebackKid]

On what grounds?

 

[Quipling]

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Unless you're a CNN correspondent and not being sufficiently deferential to the president, in which case government retaliation is a-ok.


-Voltaire, probably.

That guy is the CNN white house correspondent.
You think he got that kind of job without being hard working, smart, competitive and a ruthless journalists.
There are a lot of people waiting to take his place. Which was very difficult to get to in the first place. It is not exactly a participation trophy kind of job.

They will win on what grounds?

Freedom of the press?

Trump band an individual for bad conduct not the whole news station.

So that's not going to hold up.

CNN is just milking this shit. Jim Acosta does not have any right to be in the White House. This will be thrown out. CNN knows it, but why let a good story go to waste?

 

[all caps]

Americas favorite pastime, filing lawsuits!

 

[Swing]

Nice to get the rationale behind it regardless of how it shakes out. Makes sense to me.

 

[phoenixikki]

Traitors like him were not supposed to be allowed nowhere near the White House.
Disrespectful coward.

This.

CNN is the enemy of the people.

I would think it would be a valid lawsuit if all CNN Reporters weren't allowed there, but it's just Acosta.

The video below your post mentions a court case where it was decided that due process is required to revoke a White House press pass. CNN asked the White House for an official explanation and they never received one.

Seems like a good enough reason to file a suit.

 

[Rational Poster]

Good, fuck those pussies at the White House.

Dainty little snowflakes scared of questions.

 

[oldshadow]

If they banded CNN for no good reason then they might have a case.

They banded a reporter for bad conduct not the whole news outlet.

 

[Barbas619]

It all started going downhill for the U.S. when anti-bullying campaigns commenced.

Acosta is obnoxious, rude, a pot stirrer, and apparently has no issues forcibly putting his hands on 95 lb. women.

They should've thrown his ass out the White House, DJ Jazzy Jeff-style, a long time ago.

That would make a bit more sense, but I don't think that would hold up either. Who gets to decide which outlets cover the White House? Its not a free for all. Its a privilege, and I would imagine it could be taken away for any reason. There are countless nickle and dime outlets who are not permitted. Do they get to sue, because the President is "silencing" them?

They will say his conduct and they have video.
