Faux News 'out of the closet' again, backing CNN's Lawsuit Against White House
2018-11-16
[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.

#6  Acosta doesn't ask questions. He tries to set a straw man, debate, and speak over responsible replies. He needs the rest of the WHCA to give him a blanket party

#5  Born newshound, as played by Matt Damon,
So handsome, and endlessly framing.
The whole Secret Service
Has gotta be nervous
To see him so blatantly aiming.

#4  When the Reporters started spending 5 minutes "setting up the question" by demagoguing to the cameras the process was broken.

#2  I got quoted!!!

And these briefings have turned into a giant circus. Either the president or their representative is preening for the press, or the press is throwing fits and making themselves the story.

End the farce and just issue press statements.

#1  As someone posted here recently; "suspend the entire WH briefing process and issue written reports."

Let the real pissing and moaning begin.
