NYT: Jim Acosta Has First Amendment Right To A White House Press Pass
Freedom Outpost ^ | 11/10/2018 | Tim Brown

The New York Times, which has long been an anti-American newspaper, has now somehow found in the First Amendment a right by CNN reporter Jim Acosta to behave in the manner he did last week, by pushing aside a White House aide who was a woman as she tried to grab the mic and pass it to another reporter wanting to ask a question.

The state-controlled news outlet that pushed such "righteous" people on us as Bill and Hillary Clinton and other sexual deviants, as well as promote the #MeToo movement, decided to fire off defending Jim Acosta and his obvious attempt to stonewall a press conference and to shove the arm back of a female White House aide who merely tried to do her job.

First, consider what took place.

Like most libdiots, the NYT doesn't get it. The first amendment gives the right to speak, not to be heard.

Naw. Acosta has a RIGHT to write whatever he sees fit. He doesn’t have a RIGHT to be vetted and cleared by the White House Staff.

BullSh!t he does. He has the right to speak out in the public square and a right to write whatever he wants. But the White House doesn’t have to let everyone in to report on it and ask questions. If so where is my pass?

He should be escorted, and I’d nominate the young lady he manhandled in the presser to be his escort. He’d have to ask her permission to go in and take a leak. Humiliate him.

NYT, just say what you mean. Journalists have the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want. Journalists should just be accepted as the elite overlords they are.

Us little peons must accept our fate.

I want a White House press pass, too!

I’m sure I could manage to ask questions respectfully and to not get kicked out.

If Acosta has a first amendment right to a WH Press Pass, then so do 310 (+/-) million US citizens.

The Slimes is idiotic, but this comes close to taking the cake.

Where in the constitution, or any amendment, is the right of anyone to be in the White House?

Frankly, there is no “right” to have the press in the White House. It was obviously a kindness to the media and a convenience to the staff.

So 1st. Amendment rights give you the right to act like a jerk as you’re the only one there and to assault an intern? What makes media idiots think they’re above decency?
