Fox News to file amicus brief in support of CNN suit over Jim Acosta’s revoked press pass
Market Watch ^ | 11/14/2018 | Sarah Toy

The administration-friendly network Fox News has declared its support for CNN’s lawsuit against the Trump White House over the revocation of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press pass and said Wednesday that it plans to file a friend-of-the-court brief as a third party in support of its rival cable-news organization. “Fox News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter’s press credential. We intend to file an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court. Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic tone by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people,” the network’s president, Jay Wallace, said Wednesday, according to a Fox News statement.

I haven’t watched Faux I think in 2 years, Actually it could be longer because I watched the 2016 election returns on the internet.

That maybe. Still Trump had every right to do what he did.

They miss the point.

The point is did Acosta accost her?

The answer is yes.

President Trump should just close the whole press operation at the White House. It's not in the law or the constitution. It was done as a courtesy. It's no longer courteous so just end it.

Better yet, cancel your cable TV package altogether. It’s not worth funding all the networks that wish you dead just to keep our marginal allies at Fox afloat.

All the Press passes should be pulled.
They abused their entry as an opportunity to push narrative not to inform the American people by asking questions that would add context.

Why can’t FOX just do the decent thing and support a temporary revocation, rather than a permanent one?

Jim Acosta is a GIANT, GRANSTANDING, LIMELIGHT-HOGGING A-HOLE who had this coming to him.

The most unfortunate thing is, IMHO, that there’s no one around that has both the money and the true Conservative ideology to start a new network. The Koch Bros sure as hell don’t. And I doubt guys like Adelson, Wynn and whatever other, Republican/Right Leaning/Conservative billionaires there are, are really that Conservative and are willing to put up the cash. If they did, they probably have about 40-50 million viewers, right off the bat. The President has the support of tens of millions of Americans, if a network were to go on air, be fair to him and not fall prey to the liberal BS, they’d crush everyone else.

Fox News is dead to me. I'll miss you Judge Jeanine, Tucker, Ingraham ... but this is a bridge too far.

I don’t see how any press rep has a Constitutional right to access. It’s not speech.

Does this mean Shepard Smith will soon be promoted to a prime time slot on Fox?

Don’t worry. Of course the Teacher’s Pet has to feign outrage or the Fake-ies will bully him.
