Trump Raises the Stakes With CNN

 Trump Raises the Stakes With CNN

Last week, the White House revoked the press pass of CNN’s chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, and denied him access to the building.

CNN responded by filing suit in federal court against the president.

Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights had been violated, said CNN. The demand: Acosta’s press pass must be returned immediately and his White House press privileges restored.

  1. Definition of journalist

    1a : a person engaged in journalism especially : a writer or editor for a news medium.

    b : a writer who aims at a mass audience.

    As a citizen journalist, am I entitled to sue for a White House press pass? By the very definition of journalist, I do qualify, every bit as much as Jim Acosta. No where in the definition does it state I must be employed by CNN or any other company.
