After Hollywood, the mainstream media had the worst #MeToo record. Here's another reminder of that as the media circles the wagons in defense of Jim Acosta's ugly scene. It's not news that CNN was bound to back Acosta. But the rest of the media decided that Acosta's latest narcissistic tantrum was the hill to die on. For the First Amendment.
As Times White House reporter Julie Davis tweeted on Thursday, “@Acosta's behavior here, like it or not, does not disqualify him from the First Amendment-protected freedom to ask questions. Otherwise, how are we different from a place that has no freedom of the press at all?”
Yes, how we are different than North Korea?
If Jim Acosta loses his hard pass, we might as well be Turkey and lock up hundreds of journalists. It's exactly the same thing.

So Grab-Ass is a protected expression, as free speech under the First Amendment, if you’re a Democratic shill?
Maybe I need to switch parties.
Touching women is protected by first amendment. w00t.
Someone notify those campus bureaucrats though. I don’t think they got the message.
Hmmm...”Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise”...of man handling women. Nope. That’s not it
I expect that Harvey Weinstein's lawyers will want to speak with this NY Slimes reporter immediately!
“...Acosta’s latest narcissistic tantrum was the hill to die on.”
Stupid move.
Pull all their credentials and tell them they can have all the freedom of the press they want but it will have to be somewhere other than the White House
This is the same media that supported the idea that Brett Kavanaugh was a serial rapist, because some bimbo said she went to parties when he was in high school, and he was standing by the punch bowl smiling.
Acosta should be counting his blessings, that he wasn’t charged with assault or battery.
I’m going to use this line of reasoning on my wife tonight. “I’m expressing myself.” First amendment right.
That is their goal.
The NYT would approve of Jimmy Acosta if he had stuck his foot out in front of the intern, tripping her.
It is past time for Deplorable Dads, Grand Dads and Uncles to really start to #Acosta, when they see him.
Rush has been saying it for years.
The US media believes it is part of government and deserves separate and equal protection under the Constitution.
First Amendment does not give you protection for the results of your first amendment exercise................
The First Amendment has been trashed anyway by the leftists. Might as well simply write it out of the Constitution.
They banned certain reporters and no one said a word..........hypocrites!............
Every guy should self identify as Jim and it’s all ok.
