Fox Files Briefing In Support of CNN's Curious Claim That Jim Acosta Is the One Citizen In the Whole of the US with a Constitutional Right to a WH Pass

Cucks.

Meanwhile, James Freeman of the WSJ and Mollie Hemingway of somewhere or other disagree:

BTW, if anyone can access that article, please quote some if it in a comment. I'd like to put up an excerpt.

Mollie Hemingway wrote her own response to Jim Accoster.

Jim Acosta Bears Most of the Blame

Precisely no one actually thinks that Acosta is a good news journalist. He might be good entertainment, for some, but he doesn’t break news or accurately report it. He's a pundit who loves to offer his opinions all day, every day.

Even among his colleagues he’s known as a preener rather than a reporter. He doesn’t break stories or dig into facts. He preens on camera and does it in a way that makes it harder for legitimate press corps members to hold the administration accountable .

Every second that Acosta uses to preen and whine at a press conference is a second that a real journalist can't use to ask questions or elicit information the American people need to know about. His behavior doesn’t just damage his own reputation, it hurts CNN’s and the entire journalism profession.

His behavior last week crossed a line when he physically refused a young female intern attempting to provide the White House microphone to another reporter. He then doubled down and falsely claimed without evidence that he didn't touch her. In fact, video evidence showing he did touch her is incontrovertible.

A commenter had a great idea (which is just a sort of revenge fantasy) should a Hawaiian judge rule that Jim Acosta does have some special penubraic right to a hard pass:

Trump should declare that if Acosta has a personal constitutional right to a hard pass, so does every citizen in America, given that no queeny drama volcano has special rights over any other citizen.

Therefore, he should announce that one-week passes will be available by the lottery system, and news departments must sign up for the lottery like any other citizen. 40 names will be drawn each week and if the media's names aren't called, so be it!

Now, before anyone says, "But you'll have a bunch of partisan crazies cursing out Sarah Sanders...!"

How is that any different than the current system? At least around half of the lottery winners would say things like "MAGA!" and "CNN SUCKS!"
