re: What Is There To “Win” For Progs In The Acosta Case?

Washington-based journalists, whereas most of the White House itself, and press facilities in particular, have not been made available to the general public. White House press facilities having been made publicly available as a source of information for newsmen,20 the protection afforded newsgathering under the first amendment guarantee of freedom of the press, see Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, 681, 707, 92 S. Ct. 2646, 33 L. Ed. 2d 626 (1972); Pell v. Procunier, 417 U.S. 817, 829-35, 94 S. Ct. 2800, 41 L. Ed. 2d 495 (1974), requires that this access not be denied arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons. See Southeastern Promotions v. Conrad, 420 U.S. 546, 95 S. Ct. 1239, 43 L. Ed. 2d 448 (1975); Lovell v. Griffin, 303 U.S. 444, 58 S. Ct. 666, 82 L. Ed. 949 (1938)

OK, how does that prevent CNN from disseminating information? Explain to me how removing one assholes credential prevents the entirety of CNN from finding a replacement? They didn't revoke CNN's press pass. Just Acosta, because he's an insufferable jackass with zero decorum or manners.
