Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs on Friday lashed out at a federal judge who ordered the White House to reinstate the press pass of CNNs Jim Acosta.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed by Donald Trump, temporarily restored Acostas press credentials after the White House revoked them following a spat with the president last week.
Fox News, the sister network of Fox Business, had filed an amicus brief supporting Acosta.
Fox News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporters press credential, Fox News announced. Secret Service passes for White House journalists should never be weaponized.

(82,849 posts)There certainly are a lot of farcical excuses for judges right now, and it isn't confined to the district court level, if you boof me.

(115,280 posts)and the judge is a Trump appointee. Dobbs is getting senile, I think.

Dobbs used to be somewhat presentable. Not anymore.

(115,280 posts)somewhat conservative but not crazy. But at some point he lost the plot, started going off on immigration and ended up at Fox, where he's become a right crackpot, even by their standards.

(127,312 posts)both me and my Mom used to watch his daily financial show on CNN (we also used to watch PBS's Louis Rukeheser do "Wall Street Week" and his dad Merryle too, when he was on as a guest).
But then something happened... like he snapped... And ended up basically getting fired and off the cliff he went, where his true colors came out. Looking at some history on that - apparently he had issues in the late '90s with the-then CNN head and breaking news regarding Clinton & Colombine cutting into his show, and it went downhill from there with birther stuff, etc.
EGO.

(5,122 posts)The White House doesn't have to let any reporters in at all, but once they do, the First Amendment sides with the news organizations to send in their choice. It's all in, or none in. It will be interesting to see this case continue.
