The Comedy News Network sues Pres. Trump and top aides

Here's a laugh, CNN filed suit against the Trump administration Tuesday after the White House yanked Jim Acosta's "hard pass" credential after he refused to give up the microphone after the President told him to over and over. The mistake the White House made was to say the reason for suspending Acosta's credentials was because he grabbed a female intern.

I believe the "grab" was pretty much incidental--I could be wrong--but the real issue has much more to do with Acosta's total disrespect for the office of the president and his lack of decorum in the White House. That should have been the focus, not something that can be considered even remotely debatable.

CNN's suit was filed by former George W. Bush's lawyer, Ted Olson, and it demands Acosta's White House credentials be returned.

Let's be clear: Jim Acosta does not have the right to be in the White House; it's a privilege. CNN is trying to say that Trump is banning him because he doesn't like what Acosta says or how he asks questions, but c'mon--April Ryan is Jim Acosta in drag. Trump likes her and she likes him as much as cats likes dogs and he hasn't taken away her "hard pass."

The problem with Acosta is that he's always the story, instead of the actual story.

CNN's claim is that revoking Acosta's press pass violates the constitutional rights to freedom of the press and due process.

That's nonsense. CNN can send in another reporter to cover the White House. If CNN was correct, they would never be allowed to fire any of their own staff, which in Acosta's case, would be a wonderful idea.
