Jim Acosta karate chops intern’s arm & loses White House press pass

[Spendulus]

I would have told him "Shut the Fuck Up, You Idiot!" or maybe "Suck some CNN cock." No, ignore that last one that's you that do that....

I mean, if you think governments should censor their citizens you should move to China or Russia. That's not how the United States operates.

Really?

Even those countries use Roberts Rules of Order for meetings and such, with a few exceptions.

Russa - 148

Thanks to our dumbass president, we dropped a bunch of ranks.


So much for "freedom of press" in the land of the free.

Ah, changing the subject yet again?

The issue is how to handle a complete asshole in the crowd that's hogging the other reporters' time.

You mean Trump right ?

No, I mean the reporter.

But it doesn't bother me if you want to assign the term to Trump. He's certainly got an odd personality and such; we all recognize that.

Well, unfortunately the USA now has a petulant brat for a president, and ~40% or so give it their stamp of approval. At least the president didn't have the secret service tackle the guy to the ground and beat him up. After all, the intern the president had remove the microphone was really petite. It wasn't like a typical bar bouncing situation. If Jim feels that his 1st amendment rights have been infringed, then he should proceed to Federal court, ASAP, and settle this civilly. (If he hasn't already done so.)

CNN has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for revoking correspondent Jim Acosta's press credentials, the network said in a statement on Tuesday.

"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," a statement from CNN reads.

I wonder how a similar outburst would have been handled at the CNN Board of Directors meeting.

(not actually, actually you and I know full well how)

Let's see how the courts rule on this.

an unabashed attempt to censor the press and exclude reporters from the White House
who challenge and dispute the President’s point of view

Seems about right.

As the President explained to Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes: “You
know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative
stories about me no one will believe you.”

Oh, he literally explained his playbook... alright then.

That is why the D.C. Circuit has been clear
that “the protection afforded newsgathering under the first amendment guarantee of freedom of
the press requires that . . . access [to White House press facilities] not be denied arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons.” Sherrill v. Knight, 569 F.2d 124, 129 (D.C. Cir. 1977).

Oh, nice, precedent!

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.

About time, Jim has crossed the line many many times, there are dozens of videos of him yelling questions when he shouldn't.

Ahaha.


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


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

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.

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.

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.

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

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-orders-white-house-returns-press-pass-to-cnns-jim-acosta

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.

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. I hope it was worth it.

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.

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.
