Fox News is supporting CNN's lawsuit against the Trump administration over the White House's revocation of Jim Acosta's press pass and plans to file an amicus brief in the case, according to a statement from the network's president Jay Wallace.

"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."

Twelve other news organizations also announced they would be joining Fox in filing an amicus brief in support of CNN.

So....Fox News now shows its true colors. For Fox to join the likes of the non news rag USA today speaks volumes about where its true values lie....in the swamp!

Fox has shown its new colors for a while now. It's now the James and Laughlin Murdoch show.

The brothers have even shaken up 21st Century Fox’s profile in Washington, replacing their father’s Republican lobbying chief with a Democratic one.
