It's definitely so. He was appointed to the federal bench by Trump about a year ago. Don't get too excited just yet, though. At this point, all the judge did was rule on the emergency injunction from CNN, requesting that Acosta's credentials be given back to him while they wait for a permanent ruling. But the fact that the injunction was granted is a very good sign for the eventual permanent outcome.

Sanders responds by stating he’ll be allowed back in, but new rules for journalists will be put in place at the White House. Seeing people posting on the social medias that the judge was a Trump appointee. I can’t confirm it, but oh how amusing if it were so.

Acosta isn’t good at his job, but not because of any reasons Trump might put forward. CNN could be a true voice of the people, but instead it insists on being the voice of a select few “personalities,” with next to no focus on journalism or reporting. To the extent they had a hand in aiding in Trump’s election, they are at least as flawed as FoxNews, albeit in different ways, but gone are the days when that distinction can be clearly drawn. FoxNews isn’t so much rising to Acosta’s defense as setting the stage for the day a Democrat is again in power and Fox wants to send a pile of inept conspiratorial fluff to cover the White House. But the national focus on the media as an enemy means there’s no room for nuance and no ability to respectfully tell the folks at FoxNews that their self-serving support is odious and unwanted.
