Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
House Democrats also plan to investigate whether Mr. Trump used what Mr. Schiff called “instruments of state power” to try to punish The Washington Post and CNN, whose journalists asked questions of the president that Mr. Trump did not like. The White House revoked the credentials of the CNN correspondent Jim Acosta last week after Mr. Acosta confronted Mr. Trump at a raucous news conference, and the president has warned that more journalists may lose their credentials.
A: They only lose White House access. They can still work as journalists.

There will be some cases where someone "losing his credentials" means not being able to work anymore. But that is only in cases where we know you MUST have credentials to do that job, like certain teaching jobs (teaching license).

In this case, we know it's only referring to White House access because there are no official "journalist credentials" needed to be a journalist and "White House credentials" are a common thing we are used to hearing about.
Q: What does "conservative credentials" mean?
Did Trump embrace the "conservative credentials" and ignore the "heavy baggage"?
What does the write want to say??

Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
WASHINGTON — Bill Shine, a former co-president of Fox News hired this month as President Trump’s communications chief, brought conservative credentials and heavy baggage with him into the White House. President Trump embraced the former and ignored the latter.

Mr. Shine, now struggling to limit the damage from Mr. Trump’s performance on Monday with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, was ousted from Fox News last year in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal at the network.

Mr. Shine was never publicly accused of harassment, but he was accused in multiple civil lawsuits of covering up misconduct by Roger E. Ailes, the founding chairman of Fox News, and dismissing concerns from colleagues who complained.
A: It reads like the writer is making fun of Bill Shine. Republicans are conservative and so Bill Shine brought his Conservative credentials. Meaning he brought his identification stating he's very republican minded.
Heavy baggage is used when someone is coming with a burden. She brought her baggage one would say when "She" comes with five children.

So he embraced the fact that Bill is a republican and ignored the fact that he comes with a burden.
Q: What does 'credentials' mean in the following sentence: Environmentally,the e-bike's credentials are hard to fault.
A: Abilities, but it has a shade of meaning here. Credentials refer to people's backgrounds and achievements which are supported by some evidence. An example would be academic credentials which are supported by the degrees that you have.

I think what the sentence is implying is that the e-bike has certain abilities and attributes which can be backed up by other sources of evidence such as tests and reviews.
Q: She inflated her credentials. What does that mean?
A: she exaggerated her credentials
