Fox News announced on Wednesday that it supports CNN’s efforts to restore Jim Acosta’s White House credential after the network filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. “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,” Fox News President Jay Wallace said in a statement. The White House Correspondents’ Association – of which Fox News is a member – issued a statement in support of CNN's decision to take legal action. “We continue to urge the administration to reverse course and fully reinstate CNN’s correspondent,” WHCA President Olivier Knox said. “The President of the United States should not be in the business of arbitrarily picking the men and women who cover him.”
Fox News stands with CNN: ‘Passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized’
FOX is joining CNN's lawsuit against the White House via a "friend of the court" (amicus) brief. I give FOX due credit for this stance. :thumbs:
As FOX notes, neither Donald Trump nor Sarah Sanders should ever weaponize media access to the President/White House/WH pressers.
When the "journalist" weaponizes himself he needs to get his act together and respect the President and his fellow journalists.Fox News stands with CNN: ‘Passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized’

If true, this is great.
Of course, they probably realize that if the WH succeeded on this, it could come back and bite them in the ass in the near future, with a new administration, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt here.
It may be a little cynical to believe this, but more importantly, it's just plain practical. Even the executives at Fox News are capable of calculating that doing the right thing now makes their lives a whole lot easier the next time a Democrat is sitting in the Oval Office.
They've bought themselves future moral capital, and that's smart.

Cavalcade of conservative character and comprehension ⮯
Surely this is fake news? I would NEVER have thought Fox would do anything so moral and ethical like this.
Respect is earned. It is not demanded by position.
I assumed all adults knew this but of course that was in the days before Donald Trump.
Trump will get respect when he's earned it. Until then, he is begging for whatever negative thoughts he's agitating against him.

BUDDY!!!!! :kissy:
I don't remember the exact details, but the Obama administration once shut Fox out. The MSM stood with Fox and the White House backed down quickly.
It's only right for Fox to return the favor. I'm glad to see they are.
Whether looking back or forward, it makes sense.
Love you girl! Hope all is well. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love you too, sweet pea. Missed you. <hug>

Same here! I needed a break from the election douchebaggery of DP and watching people whore themselves for the world's biggest whore, Trump. Have things improved while I was on a self-imposed exile?
By the way, I remember when you did the same thing. You have to take breaks for your sanity! Otherwise you begin to drool when reading posts that resemble a cross between "Rules of Engagement for the KKK" and "See Spot Run".
If I remember correctly, it was because Obama didn't consider Fox News an actual news organization. To be honest, most others don't, either. :lol: But yeah, that plug was pulled pretty quickly.
No president should pull press passes. None of them.
tres .... it's great seeing you again my dear friend :2wave:
