Faux News 'out of the closet' again, backing CNN's Lawsuit Against White House
 [Breitbart] Fox News Channel announced Wednesday it will support CNN’s lawsuit against the White House over the temporary suspension of White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s "hard pass" press credential, revealing the company will file an amicus brief in defense of the partisan network.Fox News issued a statement accusing the White House of "weaponizing" Secret Service passes for reporters: FOX News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter’s press credential. We intend to file an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court. Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic tone by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people. In a brief statement shared to Twitter, CNN thanked Fox News for backing its lawsuit against the White House. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-11-16 |
