The characterization of Jim Acosta's press pass being pulled as some kind of assault on the free press is simply absurd. Last week, the CNN grandstander known as Jim Acosta got into yet another one of his narcissistic exchanges with President Trump that became so heated that Trump told him to sit down. When the White House intern came by to do her job by retrieving the mic, Acosta refused to give it up and lightly pushed her arm down. Later, the White House pulled his press credentials. As anyone who has seen the video of the exchange can see, Acosta was behaving unprofessionally for a correspondent; had he been a conservative for Fox News behaving that way in front of an Obama White House intern, the media would likely have castigated him as a sexist.
To those who would say that the White House blackballed CNN, Sanders noted that the leftist network "has nearly 50 additional hard pass holders." She also maintained that Acosta was banned for his professional misconduct and nothing more.
