Ex-CNN host says he knows how media can bring Trump to his knees

[blueseas]

Ex-CNN anchor Jim Acosta has an idea of how media companies can stand up to President Donald Trump.

Acosta said in an interview with MeidasTouch that The Associated Press should consider suing the administration over its decision to indefinitely bar the news service from the Oval Office and Air Force One. The decision came after the AP decided to not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” in its coverage.

“I think that the AP should look at whether or not they should sue the administration. I think the AP needs to look at other options in terms of what can be done,” Acosta said on Tuesday.

1. Fails to state a cause of action recognized in law or equity.

2. There are already scores of lawsuits against Mump. I think AP should sue, but I don't think

it'll bring Mump to its knees.

3. Exactly right. It's a David v. Goliath lawsuit anyway, and the felon/Must team know it's not worth the

"justice" investment.

10. I think it's called,

"click bait."

4. We just watched them side with him against Western civilization for the sake of clickbait.

They're not gonna "stand up" to him any more than they stood up to any other GOP tyrant. Certainly not now that they can automate the process of generating their lying, fawning totalitarian bullshit.

5. Trump's own 20 billion dollar lawsuit against 60 Minutes suggests they should sue.

It's what he knows. It's his default position. He lives by the courts. And he should die by them.

6. Aren't they already suing the administration?

From February 21, 2025:

The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the blocking of its journalists. “We’ll see them in court,” the White House press secretary said in response.

8. Sue? Really?

Got 10 to 20 years?
You should know damn well the delay and stalling tactics!
Blow smoke elsewhere!
I miss the days when politicians didn't mess with those who buy ink by the barrel.

9. What?

How would this bring Trump to his knees? Weird headline.

11. Good idea

He is great, he is one of few who quit, maybe the only one, and he's doing his own online show now. I don't know if it would bring psycho to his knees but it's a start.
