Appearing on the Law & Crime Network — Mediaite’s sister website — on Thursday, King offered the media criticism while discussing CNN’s case against the Trump administration after they pulled Jim Acosta’s press credentials.
“I’m a big supporter of free speech, but on the other hand, there are 50 press passes at CNN to the White House,” King said while on the Abrams Media outlet this morning.
He also praised Fox News for throwing their support behind CNN — to the shock of many — since “you could have another president in three years who throws a Fox reporter out.”

He advised Acosta to “try to learn as much as you can from” Trump in the press conferences, rather than making the story about himself.
King reprimanded the ambitious journalist by saying, “You’re not bigger than [Trump]. It isn’t about you, it’s about him.”
