    Trump administration backs down and DROPS plan to keep reporter Jim Acosta out of the White House

    T
    he administration backed down.


    The White House backed down Monday in its battle over CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, deciding not to pursue its November 7 decision to ban him from the building.

    In a letter to Acosta, the White House told him: 'Having received a formal reply from your counsel to our letter of November 16, we have made a final determination in this process: your hard pass is restored.'


    'There's the sense that we made our point and it's time to make this go away,' a White House official said Monday morning, while declining to speak on specifics surrounding the case.

    The administration doesn't need to waste time and resources on this nonsense. Let the little punk back in and just ignore him. Never call on him. Never even acknowledge his presence. The first time he is disruptive, remove him, by force if necessary.

    That's quite a good idea and a precident for a future Democrat president to follow by never calling on any right wing White House correspondent throughout his/her administration.
    Good thinking.

    Looks like Trump and the White House isn't backing down at all.



    White House Plans to Pull Jim Acosta's Press Pass...Again


    The White House plans to pull the press credential of CNN reporter Jim Acosta as soon as a 14-day restraining order expires.


    "White House officials sent Acosta a letter stating that his pass is set to be suspended again once the restraining order expires," CNN reports.
    Last week a judge ordered the White House to temporarily reinstate Acosta's pass, saying its revocation was a violation of the Fifth Amendment. His credential was suspended after he got into a physical altercation with a White House intern during a presidential press conference.


    CNN has filed for an emergency hearing on the issue.



    In the meantime, the White House is looking into a new set of guidelines for press conferences.


    “The court made clear that there is no absolute First Amendment right to access the White House. In response to the court, we will temporarily reinstate the reporter’s hard pass," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement last week. "We will also further develop rules and processes to ensure fair and orderly press conferences in the future. There must be decorum at the White House.”.....snip~

    More bad news for the Demos propaganda machine.


    White House Has Released New Expectations For Press Conferences

    The White House released new rules for presidential press conferences on Monday in hopes of restoring decorum among reporters. They include the following:



    • (1) A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;
    • (2) At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permitted; and where a follow up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor;
    • (3) "Yielding the floor" includes, when applicable, physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner.
    • (4) Failure to abide by any of rules (1)-(3) may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist's hard pass.
