Sorry Katherine. 2DV is right.

BTW, what is the 5th Amendment argument? The takings clause?

“Jim Acosta and CNN will continue to report the news about the White House and the President.”

First Amendment intact. Move along.

For what reason should the White House tolerate rude partisan hacks among the press corps? Pulling the passes of rude individuals is not the same as preventing the news media from reporting.

Since much of the mainstream media has been refusing to report the news for decades, I don’t see what their complaint is, anyway.

“These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations...”

No, all the other journalists are fine, because they don’t behave like rude petulant children, as Jim Accoster does.

Don’t bother playing their game. Just end all press conferences, don’t give a reason, and let them figure it out that there will be no press conferences while Acosta is employed by any news organization.

Meanwhile, Trump can give one-on-one interviews exclusively to Breitbart and One America News.

It is hard to find video now that shows the widest of the touching... cnn edits it completely out... hmmmm

Cspan has it but edits to it right as it happens making it easily missed.

But it wasn’t so heavy handed, but he shouldn’t have done it.

Why doesn’t CNN reassign him to RT News? They can sit any hack in the White House Press corp. They proved that by putting Jim Acosta there.

Jim Acosta should be seated in the men’s room of the White House.

They wanted a process. Congrats, Acosta! You are NOW “in the process”.

I saw it in real time and my first reaction was “That’s a battery charge” and posted as much right here on freerepublic.

The reporter—CNN’s chief White House correspondent—kept hold of the microphone and tried to finish asking a question, saying, “Pardon me, ma’am,” to the intern.

Oh, well that makes it all right!

Oh, and this “doctored footage” crap — uh, huh. Just another story like “Trump makes fun of disabled reporter!” Report non-truth as truth. Repeat.

I keep reading “doctored” video. What proof is there of this?

Guarantee Trump will call on him after a couple briefings, prefaced by something like “Go ahead Jim, let’s see if you’ve learned any manners yet..”

There is a procedure to suspending press passes...due notice. He was supposed to get notice said the judge.

This is just following that Due Notice procedure. The doofus will have his press pass suspended.

They should offer CNN the pass for another reporter and make it clear that CNN is not banned, only the person.
