What do you guys think? I find it hilarious that this is going to go to court, just because of the implications. If this is somehow found in violation of the 1st Amendment, then it opens up the floodgate for anyone and everyone to get a press pass. They'll have to give any YouTuber, anyone at all a press pass if this is a right to go to one of these.
CNN is making a mistake. "Alt-Tech" is on the rise, and this will empower them more. Content creators like Styxhexxenhammer666 and any other independent creators will now have the same rights and CNN and other big guys. While I don't agree that this is a 1st Amendment violation, I 100% support this lawsuit, just based on how beneficial it will be for independent news sources and Alt-Tech.
A U.S. federal judge says he will hold a hearing Wednesday on CNN's lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking the speedy reinstatement of press credentials for White House correspondent Jim Acosta, a frequent target of President Donald Trump.
In its lawsuit filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, the cable news network said the White House violated the First Amendment right to free speech as well as the due process clause of the Constitution providing fair treatment through judicial process.
Several journalists and organizations — including the American Society of News Editors, the Associated Press Media Editors and the Online News Association — have demanded Acosta's access be reinstated.
