CNN and Jim Acosta are suing President Trump and the White House. It's all about Acosta's continuing belligerent and disrespecting conduct. The lawsuit says, in essence, that no reporter has to abide by any rules, imagined or written, about conduct. Reporters are free to interrupt, talk over and berate whoever is at the podium, and if the President or anyone else doesn't like it, that's just plain tough.
So, neither Acosta or CNN is to blame; President Trump is.
Nowhere in the Constitution, even when it talks about freedom of the press, does it say that the White House is obligated to bend over and take whatever the Press Corps wants to shove up there.
Enough is enough. Throw them all out until they create some rules of decorum, conduct and ethics with which they must agree to abide.
