Fox News backs CNN in Acosta suit


Fox News has issued a statement in support of CNN’s lawsuit on behalf of Jim Acosta. The network’s president Jay Wallace has weighed in to support the effort to allow Acosta to regain access to the White House.

“FOX News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter’s press credential. We intend to file an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court. Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic tone by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people.”
