Well, let's see if CNN has any guts

I hope I'm jumping the gun here -- really hope I'm jumping the gun -- but I'm really interested to see what CNN's response to DJT refusing to take a question from one of its reporters will be. Will they have the GUTS to follow up on this?

For a guy who's been credited with over... what's the latest count. thousands? of lies to call a seasoned professional reporter a liar on international television goes beyond belief. If I were the head of CNN News (or NBC) I'd be all over this like blowflies on a corpse. I'd get my legal staff to dig up anything even remotely related to the First Amendment, put one hell of a response together, and publicly submit it to Congress, demanding a reprimand or a censure or whatever the appropriate term is.

And if I were Jim Acosta, I'd start writing. And I hope he already has.

1. They won't

It would kill all access.

2. I agree

The courts are starting to realize that our rights are being denied or dismissed by our congress, and therefore they must take the reins. Yes please CNN, demand your first amendment right. If a big corp like you won’t, what chance do we, as the little guy, have?

3. Well, if they don't now, then

I’m sure they will eventually. People are tired of Trump running our country into the ground.

4. The Washington Post

showed amazing guts when they published the Pentagon Papers, and we all know how THAT turned out.

Where's Meryl Streep when you need her?

And FWIW, I just emailed CNN my thoughts on the subject.
