What's this?

Yes, this is political, so, please someone answer before it is nuked...


Couldn't CNN just have replaced Jim Acosta with another CNN journalist? I thought I heard there were like 50 journalists for CNN with Hard-pass access to the White House. Even if Jim is nixed, isn't there still freedom of the press, since banning just Jim isn't banning the entire organization?

I tried to google for clarity, but came up with nothing. CNn seems to just avoid talking about replacing Jim with someone else... make it appear to just be grandstanding and more CNN vs Trump.
