In case you didnt know. Because ive seen everywhere there was no reason or nobody knows why

So CNN sues the White House?

The argument was about the 5th amendment, claiming they didnt clearly provide reason for his pass being revoked.

So the white house says this is why we revoked your pass

This whole story is making me sick and I want your thoughts on the matter. Believe it or not, you guys used to also hate CNN

Why didnt the White House just say that to begin with instead of claiming it was because of the incidental contact between him and the intern? If they had a legitimate reason why did they not lead with that?

Just copy pasting what I said elsewhere....

Nice we will defend the Second Amendment in the face of back to back tragedies. But the First Amendment, however, is subject to, certain, restrictions.

BTW: Don't forget, in that Press Conference Trump himself said something to the effect that he had all the time in the world, and 'joked' that he wanted the reporters to tell him when they were bored.

Trump doesn't want press freedom because he wants an oligarchy, not a democracy.

Because it was obvious to everyone, and didnt require further explanation. cnn just wanted to attempt to fight it in court.

The incidintal contact with the intern is part of the reason so I dont understand your question

But they still decided to give further explanation and it wasnt that. Ugh it was obvious! doesnt work here dude. The reason they gave was a failure of a reason that was shot down by the courts and now theyre backtracking. They should have just led with the real reason if that was it the entire time.

The job of the press is to hold people in power accountable. There is a reason Fox News is backing CNN here. They know that setting a precedent of presidents kicking out any reporters that don't fall in line with their wants is going to bite Fox in the ass in the future.

They restored it because they won in court.

They didnt win because White House didnt have a reason, they won because they didnt provide a clear and proper reasoning. Which is why it will be revoked again

Yeah, I had to stop and think about it the other day. It's absolutely astounding that we all look back at W as the voice of reason now. People on all sides are even softening on McCain and look at him as if he's some sort of middle-ground, calmer head.

Thats no way to act in his position, he should have accepted his loss the moment trump gave him the answer he didnt want to hear. As a reporter you expect that sort of thing

If I were CNN I wouldve attempted replacing Acosta before suing the White House but idk maybe Im crazy

Lol the only person who looks bad in that video is Trump. What a plainly awful person

It blows my mind that there are people that support this petulant manchild. Like, I (to an extent) understand the people who voted him on the basis of party, but that there are people who will actually defend him boggles the mind.

Like I said recently, it seems reasonable republicans have learned to just put their heads down and not talk about it what an embarrassment Trump is to the office of president, because anyone with any amount of sensibility can see that Acosta is like a grown man trying to reason with a whiny toddler in that video

it wont just start with him pulling a gun out and shooting the reporter in the head, though he's said he could shoot someone and get away with it to the roar of his adoring fans...

its a slippery slope thing. next step will be superfluous litigation against reporters. then it'll be accidents and disappearances. we're years away from brazen assassination, say in the street behind a snow plow...

No one derailed anything. The topic was always about the incident and that is what we are talking about. You are just claiming it's derailed because we don't agree with you.


It turned into assuming I lost an argument and the freedom of press, which is not the amendment that has anything to do with this case, this case was about the 5th ammenedment

Im not really arguing even, Im kinda just stirring up what interests me about this case. Which is kinda like trolling, except Im not lying about anything just getting my thoughts out here. Testing the waters and seeing who agrees.

Or disagrees. Or who admits to blatantly ignoring any evidence but still decides to share like ^ that guy did. He made a good example of a fool

And man, Im not done yet. This is still on my mind, and I love you guys. Im reviving this.

Now Ill admit that video wasnt the best video because its edited to seem like trump blew up on this guy at the first chance he got

But I guarantee you Acosta is not only wrong, but BAD at what hes supposed to do. He expected this reaction from trump and couldve gone without getting his panties up in a bunch over it

Just Acosta.

If we wanna take an extension to the topic, lets talk about Russian spies and how Trump defends himself.

Literally no he doesn't. When someone asked Trump if his new attorney general would try to 'rein in' the Mueller investigation, Trump berated them.


Now I dont exactly agree that firing an attorney general and hiring a new one without explaining to the people with proper reasoning WHY

Thats the 5th amendment action we the people deserve

But thats not what Acosta goes for. He asks about a probable investigation over an affiliation of Russian spies? Its so stupid so so dumb if he legitimatley expected an answer.

Trump does want to be questioned, but he also wants to be trusted. He has said multiple occasions that it would be a waste of time and resources investigating him.
I also dont agree with this. But the way Acosta goes at it is SO WRONG

He couldve actually been helpful

Acostas question is rude because he blatantly ignores the fact that his question has been answered and hes not trying to be critical of the president at this point, hes just trying to make the president react for news.

Its obvious to me this only makes Acosta and CNN look bad.

Ok cats out the bag now. Its amazing to me how you guys think of this, and thank you for the replies and insight
