On Wednesday, Fox News said it supports efforts to restore press credentials to CNN propagandist Jim Acosta, despite his constant childish grandstanding, heckling and his boorish behavior with a White House intern simply trying to do her job. In short, Fox News overlooked his unprofessional behavior and in doing so, missed the proverbial mark by a country mile.
“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,” Fox News President Jay Wallace said.

Claude Raines said it best................I’m shocked.
Fans?
Is that normal?
Who labels themselves as a media person’s “fan”?
I dumped Fox a while ago. For those of us that don’t have television, they’ve seemed pretty liberal for the last decade at least. They have a few conservatives but still...
Contact Fox advertisers. Complain and boycott the advertisers.
Trump was excoriated for saying both sides were wrong.
I haven’t been a fan except for a select few opinion hosts for many years.
Generally they are the same as any other outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda.
Bye, Fox.
Glad Hannity is still on the radio.
...in Charlottesville.
Fox News is not a patriotic and conservative network. But a network with patriots and conservatives on it.
Yes Hannity and Tucker are excellent, but the bosses would kick their asses out the door tomorrow if they could hire a Marxist who would pull in the same numbers

I’m sure Fox is thinking that the next leftist president will kick them completely out of the WH press briefings, citing this as precedent.
Fox is a huge disappointment lately. I think I would rather watch Home Shopping Network these days!
That “the Press” is not willing to call it disgraceful embarrassment Acosta to account for his buffoonish lack of anything resembling a Journalist standard or ethic, raises serious question if we have ANY “Journalists” left.
Apparently not. They have all become the Clown Media now.
Stupid move Fox News. You’ll find out.
Stopped watching Fox after O’blowhard went after the Swift Boat Vets.
President Trump should make that young lady chargé d’affaires to a nice tropical embassy pour encourager les autres.
And so he can and should.
“The Press” is claiming it decades of marketing is in fact a “legal standing”. The Press actually has NO special legal power or position in our system. It has just claimed those power for itself.
It is past time the arrogant abuses of self granted “powers” by the corporate media be pruned back by the Courts.
Acosta is NOT a Journalist, he is a Commie Democrat Activist. During the Obama years he only swooned over Obama, NEVER asked him a question other than how was your day..COME ON, Im all for Journalists asking questions but these days journalism doesn’t exist anymore, only advancing the Democrat talking points
