Whitehouse suspends CNN reporter press pass

[pcosmar]

Media whore.

Whore Media.

 

[acptulsa]

All videos clearly show her doing her job to take the mic to the next reporter and him pushing her arm down to stop her. Are you really going to deny this?

The jump cut of that gif clearly qualifies as editorial license.

Trying to spin his obnoxious behavior as a 'karate chop'--verbally or via edited video (and every gif is edited)--does nothing to strengthen the position or the credibility of a point of view. Indeed, it weakens it. People who are disturbed by Acosta's unacceptable behavior become incensed at the way they are being manipulated. Deniers are given traction when the events are exaggerated beyond the bounds of factual reporting (it gives them something to deny).

Whose side are you on really that you want to shoot CNN's foes in the foot?

Put him in the back of the room and don't let him ask questions for a few weeks/months.

Ban him from the press room, if not the White House. CNN has other reporters they could send. Let them send one who has at least the self-control of a normal kintergardener.

Liberals live in a different reality than we do. No matter which world we live in, sometimes some cognitive dissonance is necessary to maintain an illusion, and that's what this is.

His bosses should have yanked him off this beat a long time ago. At this point he isn't reporting any story. Intentional or not, he is the story. That's not journalism, it's theater

 

[angelatc]

Whore Media.

YES. CNN is not news, they are editorial entertainment.

 

[TheTexan]

It's not?

I would let her hold my mic .

I would have made him stand with his nose in the corner of the room for 5 minutes.

 

[kahless]

All I'm saying is that everybody was a jerk & this incident is being blown way out of proportion.

Roger.

Some friends on fedbook are freaking out saying that this is an attack on the free press and even calling for impeachment. I have long ago given up on responding to such idiocy, because it's pointless, but man, people are losing their minds these days.

Just show them the karate chop gif.

Here we are again where you are clearly taking the position of how the Progressives on the left are spinning a topic. It was a light karate cop. Regardless of what video you look at he clearly moves her arm down to push her away from doing her job. That is a big taboo no no in our culture with someone you do not know, particularly a man doing this to a woman in the workplace. There is no exaggeration here.

Prog spin is a predictable and avoidable hazard. Those who want to win hearts and minds and influence people short-circuit most prog spin, and use what's left against them. Those who just want to have a brainless brawl and damn the consequences escalate, escalate and escalate some more

Calling this "assault" is over the top, but Acosta seems to have some sort of personality disorder where he can't help making himself the story. I don't know what his deal is, but he shouldn't act out his bizarre psychological deficiencies on the national stage.

LOL- sounds like Trump's twin.

Yep, they are now associating Sanders with using that boogeyman conspiratorialist's material, ALEX JONES!!!

Has Acosta apologize to the woman? That could restore a little dignity.

Dignity? Trump v. CNN is about dignity?

Isn't the model for this fight the WWE?

He made a comment while it was happening allegedly, but he hasn't since apologized. He has doubled down.

Then the media doubled down.

Sarah Sanders showed a "doctored" video from Paul Joseph Watson (infowars) where he merely zooms in..

Wapo claimed that the video was doctored to make his arm look like it came down faster

White House shares doctored video to support punishment of journalist Jim Acosta

Paul Joseph Watson confirms on his twitter that he did not alter the video to make his arm come down faster, he merely zoomed in..

Just goes to show how much more fake news the media is than infowars ever was..

In the OP video he says "Pardon me, Ma'am."

Also, zooming by editing does speed up action a bit. In the vid you show, it is a bit faster, choppier & fuzzy.

Just sayin'.

I predicted this thread would get a lot of action.

Bullshit, zooming in does not speed up the action, it is just zooming in. His arm moves faster in pixels per second, but the action takes the same amount of time. The video is more grainy because it isn't the original and went through some editing, but he didn't make it look worse than it was except to zoom in.

The point is the media is lying, again..

And it would be polite of him to apologize, a "pardon me ma'am" while he karate chops her arms means you apologize with a "sorry" after.
