have no press conferences.
The judge in question actually handed PDJT the very weapon he'll use to disarm the fake news media. I had the same reaction you're having right now until I realized it.
The other thing that's happening right now is we're starting to see the other news outlets turn against CNN. Major Garrett did just that yesterday when he complained Jim Acosta was hurting the other news outlets with his bad behavior, bogarting the press time by refusing to relinquish the mic which ended up not allowing other news outlets to ask questions.
The tide's turning, all that's required now is patience to let it happen.
We have a government of the few, by the few and for the few.
Stop the WH press briefings. Hand out a “press release” every day . POTUS is not obligated to promote they’re leftist ratings any more than being required to promote acme weed eaters..... aside a press briefing is not a presstitutes stage to dress down the POTUS with insinuations accusations and the MSM’s twist on facts .......
“..Trump and Sanders, after all, who escalated the Acosta situation after a dispute at a news conference by yanking his press pass and, to justify it, pointing to an apparently altered video of his interaction with a White House aide.”
The video of the physical altercation with the young intern, when Acosta wouldn’t give back the mic, was fake?
Trump should have as many as O’Bastard had.
The White House should have filed an appeal.
Tie this up in another court for a year or two...
Exactly!!!
If I were Trump, I’d have told said black-robed tyrant that he has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.
The White House should have their own cameras present at pressers. Use the antics of Acosta and pals against them to garner support, campaign contributions.

Well, until some asshole judge demands it, of course.
if journalists don’t follow them, ‘we’ll end up back in court, and we’ll win.’
Clearly the president thinks he’s still in America. The courts literally make up law as needed and Trump thinks he’ll win. THAT’S a bit troubling.
Acosta wants to be the news, not report the news.
The Manchurian judge should be impeached, convicted, and thrown out of the country for his revisionist sodomy of the Constitution.
That's the way its always been, but couched in terms of assumed polite, or tolerably polite, conduct. Hostile reporters like Acosta and April Ryan are simply forcing it to be put on paper. After all, the WH doesn't have to have press conferences at all. Obama only did rarely, and then in an exceedingly controlled manner.
This isn’t about Trump and Acosta, it is about separation of power. The Judicial branch has NO AUTHORITY over an Executive branch process procedure...however now the Judicial branch has forced the Executive branch to do something. This is patently UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Trump cannot allow this to stand. (WE cannot allow the ruling to stand, it is an unconstitutional precedent).
And now Trump gets to write the rules and hold every reporters feet to the fire.
Thanks Acosta!!
Any judge making press access a requirement pretty much invalidates the judiciary’s current stance against cameras in court and confronting judges with questions. As an equally accountable branch of government, it is inconceivable that the judiciary alone can set restrictions against media access while the other two must freeball it.
If I were a reporter in DC, I would go to this very judge’s trials and periodically stand and ask questions of the judge directly. I’d repeat it and demand answers. When he threatened to have me removed or thrown in jail for contempt, I would reject it loudly by describing how he personally just required the POTUS to extend due process. Imprisoning me today is hardly due process. I would definitely want to make the judge play by the identical rules he established for another independent branch of government.
Or W's Air National guard records, or George Zimmerman's 911 call, or pick coverage of any hurricane,.....all edited by the anti-American press.
