CNN Sues the White House

For John, BLUF:  I guess one solution, if the White House loses, is to readmit him and then stop holding pressers.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

CNN sues President Trump and White House for banning reporter Jim Acosta

Here is the sub-headline:

From CNBC, Reporter Kevin Breuninger, 13 November 2018.

Here is the lede:

CNN is suing President Donald Trump and multiple White House aides for revoking press pass of the news network's White House correspondent, Jim Acosta.

Developing.  CNBC had only two paragraphs at this time.

I guess that when the only real tool you have is a lawyer, every problem cries out for a lawsuit.

It seems to me the real issue the count will face is if the First Amendment guarantee of a free press includes the right of reporters to hector the President of the United States.

Hat tip to the Drudge Report.
