FULL TITLE: BREAKING NEWS: CNN's Jim Acosta is BANNED from the White House as it suspends his media credentials after heated press conference exchange with the President
CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta has been denied access to the White House after getting into a heated shouting match with President Donald Trump and grabbing a mic away from a female aide at a press conference.
A Secret Service agent denied Acosta entry to the White House grounds on Wednesday evening, and revoked his 'hard pass', the long-term press pass issued to the White House press corps.
'I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit,' Acosta wrote in a tweet at 7.46pm.
Minutes later, the CNN journalist posted a cell phone video of a Secret Service agent asking him to hand over his press pass and removing it from his lanyard.

Good Riddance to bad rubbish.
If it weren’t for losing the House, this would have been one of the best 24 hour political cycles in a long time.
ALL OF THEM!
Internet link to this article (Facebook) has nutjobs saying he didn’t touch the staff person, that DJT is a bully, that the press should boycott these press conferences (lol).
Nutty comments which tell me why those election results were so close last night. It’s going to be a tough job in 2020, with illegals voting (again), dead people voting (again), felons voting, and new arrivals from South of the border voting...
It knocked the Jeff Sessions tiring off the headlines.
And reminded people why they hate fake news.
Turn in your hard pass as you leave
Hard..: there’s a sexual joke in there somewhere.
But it wasn’t a joke to the poor young woman he manhandled.
Sarah Sanders to press before going into press conference: Anyone here who cannot adhere to the code of professional ethics and conduct for journalists, and who will grandstand or interrupt to get ego gratifying attention should not bother going in today.
Later on at the podium.
Sarah: Hello! Hello! Is anybody here?
LoL
Damn. I didn’t get in before the zot.
Missed Sessions and Acosta.
Head hanging in shame.
Invest in popcorn futures as the president gives them all strokes via Twitter LOL
I was a newspaper reporter for 25 years. I never spoke to an elected official in such a manner as this creep Acosta — even the officials I thought were crooks. These were relatively few.
Since I did local news mainly, I had to deal with city council and county commission members who were mostly regular folks doing what, in fairness, I learned was an often thankless job.
Oddly enough, I got along just as well with the Dems in my towns as the Pubbies. Probably the nicest compliment I got from the other side was from a city councilwoman of the A-A persuasion who said “even when you write a story that’s critical of something we’re trying to do, we know that it’s never personal.”
I appreciated that, especially since the editor I was working under at the time was a self-styled conservative pundit and an absolute misery to work under, arrogant and verbally abusive.
Of course, all this was nearly 20 years ago and a lot has changed in relatively few years.
Suspending his credentials is not nearly enough. That man should be caned.
Will Rosenswine resign in support of Sleepy being shuffled along to his deep state retirement?
I wouldn't stop there. Trump should have been banning a bunch of them till he got them trained to be civil and not lie or manipulate the story.
Maybe he likes getting caned and whipped by his boyfriend. Acosta needs to have his lights punched out.
