why are you posting videos of a guy who got fired for sexual harassment?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

So you don't disagree about what he said?
Why do you defend NFL players that beat their wives?
i do disagree with him. and i've always stated that if an nfl player beat his wife, he should be arrest and kicked out the league.
so you managed to lie twice in one post. congrats.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
just because i didn't state that i disagreed with him doesn't automatically mean anything. you're reaching so hard right now its pathetic.
again, i've made my stance very clear on my dislike for nfl players who beat their women.
but keep lying. this is why its impossible to have any sort of meaningful dialogue with you.

CNN sues President Trump and top White House aides for barring Jim Acosta
CNN sues White House for using doctored video to bar Jim Acosta
Spreading fake news has consequences. By Aaron Rupar Nov 13, 2018, 11:42am EST
CNN sued the White House on Tuesday morning, demanding that security credentials be reinstated to journalist Jim Acosta, who was barred from the White House following a testy exchange with President Donald Trump during a news conference last week.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders accused Acosta of “placing his hands” on a White House aide who tried to physically remove a microphone from Acosta and tweeted out a video that purportedly showed him doing so. But CNN’s lawsuit argues the allegation is transparently bogus and based on the use of doctored video that appears to have originated with far-right conspiracy website Infowars.
The lawsuit also cites White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s incoherent comments on Fox News on Sunday during which she acknowledged the video was “sped up,” but argued there’s a difference between that and doctoring footage.
Trump made a similarly unconvincing defense of the bizarrely dishonest tactics the White House employed in an attempt to justify Acosta’s banishment.
“The content and viewpoint of CNN’s and Acosta’s reporting on the Trump administration—not his interaction with the staffer at the November 7 press conference—were the real reason the White House indefinitely revoked his press credentials,” the lawsuit says. “Neither the White House nor the Secret Service has provided Acosta any formal notice of the reasons for, opportunity to be heard regarding, or opportunity to challenge, the decision to revoke his hard pass.”
In a statement announcing the lawsuit, CNN said that “[w]hile the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone. If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials.”
CNN alleges that the White House is violating the network’s First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights by banning him from the White House over objections to his reporting, and demands “[i]mmediate restoration of Acosta’s press credentials and hard pass so that Plaintiffs may continue to report from White House briefings and perform their jobs on White House grounds and at other presidential events.”
As the Atlantic detailed, there’s a legal precedent that suggests CNN’s lawsuit may be successful. In the late 1960s and early ’70s, the Nation correspondent Robert Sherrill was banned from the White House. The ACLU eventually sued, arguing Sherill’s banishment violated his First and Fifth Amendment rights, and ultimately prevailed.
“Once the government creates the kind of forum that it has created, like the White House briefing room, it can’t selectively include or exclude people on the basis of ideology or viewpoint,” Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, told the Atlantic, summarizing the lessons of Sherill’s case.
In a statement released late Tuesday morning, Sanders dismissed the lawsuit as “just more grandstanding from CNN,” adding that the White House “will vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”
The statement went on to move the goalposts yet again by citing another new justification for Acosta’s banishment: that he purportedly hogs the spotlight from other reporters.
“The First Amendment is not served when a single reporter, of more than 150 present, attempts to monopolize the floor,” Sanders said. “If there is no check on this type of behavior it impedes the ability of the president, the White House staff and members of the media to conduct business.”
Freedom of press just means that they cannot be jailed for what they write or report. It does not grant ANY of the press access to the WH or the President.
This play by CNN is a joke and they should be ashamed of themselves.
How Trump would it be to reinstate him, never call on him and then ban him again when he freaks out and inevitably interrupts? God I am laughing just thinking about it.

They didn't ban CNN from the White House, just ignorant Jimmy.
I find it funny how many defend Trump here in this issue. What a damn loser he is. Can't take the heat. He's such a screw up(if not a crook) that he has to ban reporters who ask uncomfortable questions AND make up stories as to why! Faked a video to do it! LOSER.
Same guys taking his side in here say nothing about him disrespecting Vets on Veterans Day! What a damn loser! Too busy laying in bed sucking his thumb to be President that day, pouting over the ass whooping he took on election day!

Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.

Except in this case when Trump is antagonistic to the press. What is it you expect them to do.. Sit there like good little children and let the President lie to everyone..
Is that what you want?
Yes, CNN is a joke, so is FOX...

I watched the entire presser, Acosta was the one instantly raising his voice, talking over others, and refusing to give up the microphone when he was told to.
I stated Trump could have and should have acted better as well. However, he didn't really go off on Acosta until he refused to give the mic.
I don't remember Fox suing Obama when he wiretapped their reporters. J/S.
Oh I certainly don't agree. The president is someone who is responsible for our nation. Someone who should try to unite our country and not act like an azz hole. The other is a reporter.

I have respect for any and every president who has earned it. Trump hasn't. If you think a man who consistently tries to divide our own people as worthy of respect, you go on and respect him. Respect is earned, not given.

Maybe your reading comprehension is lacking in your older age - I highlighted the words for you.
I have no problem with people not liking trump, as I have no problem with people not liking Obama. However in a professional setting at a press conference, when you are a "journalist" in the press conference, your job is to take the information and report it. Not argue policy or you personal beliefs on said policy. If you want to be a commentator, change your job title and turn in your Press pass.
There is absolutely no way to try to defend the behavior of Acosta, and by trying to so makes your TDS on notice.
But you will reply simply with a "whatabout" Obama I am sure as that is what you do. Its cool man, you hate the US. At least those on the far left admit it.
My only response would be that maybe you should try to hold Trump to the same type of standard. I mean after all, he is the one who said that the free press in "the enemy of the people" but I don't see you taking him to task for that.
I love my country. Which is why I oppose Trump. He is the great divider.

Sneaky half truth you worked in there as usual. Trump was not referring to the Free Press, he was referring to today's Press as being the enemy of the people.
You know, the Democrat Propaganda Press we citizens suffer today.
