Why does anyone truly give a frick about Acosta and his press pass?
They don't give a single frick about Acosta himself, and this whole thing wouldn't even be news during any other administration.
The old saying when it came to media was "sex sells," well now it's "Trump hatred and outrage sells...kinda."

Why don't you try rebutting his argument? He pretty much shut you down.

Which ones. Please share, preferably with a link.

It's CNN. It's not "balls" it's resistance. It's what you regressives do. Nothing brave about being partisan hacks.

Maybe you should address his point, instead of pivoting.

However during those press meetings there needs to be rules so everyone gets questions answered. Acosta broke those rules. I agree that Acosta was an extremely rude individual.
I agree that there need to be rules. Unfortunately, there are no specific rules that Acosta broke. That's part of CNN's suit. They want specific rules in place so that the POTUS can't abuse power and bar any negative press. What's so bad about that?

negative press
Negative press is one thing but CNN's is a rabid attacking press.
CNN's constant negativity does nothing to help them in this situation

Because he acted an arse and refused to move on.
Stop changing your story, you said, "he should've just said "No, next question""....which he did.

I think everyone is aware of common decency. And there are no binding rules. Guess what chief, POTUS Trump is top dawg. I know it makes you wet yourself at night, but what he says goes, and what the Secret Service says goes. Acosta wants to assault a WH aide, then his arse gets the boot. You want him to stay because "well there are no rules". You sound like a big pussy.

Where has CNN been barred? Please post examples. Acosta was kicked out, but was CNN? Did we all miss something? Or are you sky screaming?

The #resistance idiots still haven't realized that presidential press conferences are privileges and not rights

What a drama queen. Your little boyfriend gets kicked to the curb and now 1A is dead.
You people are insane. Trump broke you and it's hilarious.

Even acting like a child doesn't excuse the Secret Service to take away your press credentials.
I agree with you.
Trump in fact agrees with you.
Thank goodness his press pass was not taken away arbitrarily. This was not a random reason.
Acosta violated the decorum of that conference.
So you see, his pass was not revoked arbitrarily. It was revoked for cause.
All this temper tantrum is doing is extending his temporary time in time out.

I would argue that Trump has a 1st Amendment right to NOT speak to Acosta. So, if CNN wants a question answered, they need to send a different reporter. Preferably one who knows how to mind his/her manners, ask their question in a respectful and professional manner, then pass the mic. Jim Acosta is nothing more than a front-row heckler.

Something tells me we're in the middle of a pointeless, tribal internet argument.
Seriously, if you don't think there is a single constitutional scholar who will side with CNN here, why should I bother arguing? It's like you're arguing against the existence of penguins. Just because you can't see any doesn't mean they don't exist!
Does POTUS have a point? Sure, there needs to be some decorum in the White House. Does that give them a right to revoke credentials from journalists? I think that gives POTUS too much power to stifle dissent. CNN is obviously taking that same stance. We'll see if courts decide to stick with Sherrill v. Knight.

Some people enjoy the free press afforded by the First Amendment. Some people (including the SCOTUS per Sherrill v Knight) see the WH's removal of press credentials as stifling that freedom of the press and free speech.
It doesn't affect the freedom of the press at all.
The Whitehouse is under ZERO legal obligation to even hold press conferences.
The Whitehouse is under zero legal obligation to issue press credentials.
The press can still freely report whatever they chose to report.

One more time CNN has access to the WH, so does Jimmy Acosta.
