Not surprisingly, CNN was in an exuberant mood on Friday morning after federal judge Timothy Kelley ordered their chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta to have his White House press credentials restored following the Trump administration’s decision on November 7 to yank his pass following yet another act of showboating by Acosta hours earlier at a White House press conference. 

Weekday morning CNN Newsroom co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto were enthralled with the decision, dubbing it “a victory” not only “for CNN,” but also “press freedom” and “[w]hether any administration likes questions asked or the tone they're asked in or not, this is about the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.”
