Acosta attacked a intern, He is out.
This is Bullsh^t!
The White House briefings are a privilege, not a right under the Constitution.

Good luck with that... If I were an employee who’s job was in jeopardy because of possible cuts and what not, I’d be pissed to know they are wasting money on something that they have no chance in hell of winning.
Ignorant, rude and pathetic behavior isn’t tolerated at your local restaurant or bar, why should it be tolerated by Trump?
This is actually kinda comical. Someone told me that CNN can’t lose because this is just like a restaurant refusing service to someone. I pointed out that if the person is causing a ruckus and rudely treating the owner the owner has every right to kick them out.
Duh. Nobody is forced to allow someone else to cause a scene in an area under their control. And this was in an area under the president’s control.
Please correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t FOXNEWS not let in for YEARS under OBAMA?
Didn’t he smile publically then secretly order Brenner and others to illegally spy on journalists and lawmakers?
Am I misremembering this or does everyone have amnesia?
Too bad the courts don’t have jurisdiction. Separation of powers. The Whitehouse can issue or jerk press passes at its leisure.
It’s a privilege not a right; just like security clearances. Both can be revoked and lost.
“Shouting fire in a crowded theater” is not free speech!
The part about press passes is in there, you just have to look really, really hard.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The White House is not denying CNN’s right to free speech, nor are they even denying CNN access to the daily briefings....just not Acosta.
Judge Nappy on Fox Business just said CNN had good case. The Judge is wrong.
I’m going to go to a restaurant tonight, act ignorant, rude and belligerent and make a scene so I can get kicked out, then sue them for kicking me out.
Now Trump should refuse any questions from CNN because of “pending litigation”.
Acosta must be the only reporter they have...
Press passes are a privilege not a right. CNN has other reporters there that don’t act like self centered idiots.
Acosta has no more right to go into the White House in the same room as the president than me. No one has a right to it.
Funny that CNN now cares about the amendments.
Acosta touched the intern without her permission, and pushed her arm away. Trump has the right to keep him out to protect his interns.

He's free to report whatever he wants. About the White House even.
But the last time I read it, the Constitution doesn't provide press passes to the White House for reporters who don't follow the White House rules.
