A federal judge sided with CNN and with Jim Acosta with regards to restoring Acosta to White House press briefings. The argument is still ongoing in court though. Jim Acosta is having his access temporarily restored while this case is being argued.<\/p>\n

From USA today<\/a>:<\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the White House had violated Acosta’s Fifth Amendment right to due process by suspending his press badge without explanation or a chance for CNN to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n

Kelly said White House officials couldn’t say who made the decision or how. The judge ordered the government to restore the credential while the rest of the case — which drew a slew of support from other media outlets, including USA TODAY — is argued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jim Acosta, as you know, appears hostile to President Trump, and to his policies. He advances a narrative about how his job is to cover the President. There’s a professional way to do that. Jim Acosta does it like a liberal activist.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, there are those, among the media, trying to spin the White House’s actions as “arbitrary”. For example, just booting people who express a view that the administration doesn’t like, or booting people that the administration identifies as coming from fake news.<\/p>\n

Never mind that Jim Acosta, after already getting more questioning time, refused to yield to other reporters and their questions. He was given sufficient time to allow the other reporters a chance to ask their questions. Then, when a young woman, an intern, reached for the microphone, he resisted her efforts.<\/p>\n

Many in the mainstream media are happy about this ruling. The European Union internet version of this story shows a tidbit about how a lawyer… Who helped the Republicans during the 2000 recount fiasco… Is helping CNN in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
