Jim The Accoster

[Leo123]

The CNN 'reporter' that accosted an intern and decided a Presidential press conference was the place to state his personal opinion and give a Karate chop to a young woman. We don't need this left wing violence and hate in the White House reporter pool.

Watch the video, Mr. Accoster gave her a Karate chop in the arm when she reached for his microphone AFTER the President answered his question and was going to another reporter. BTW I don't hate CNN I watch it all the time but this reporter is not out to report news he is out to destroy a duly elected President of the U.S. and promote himself. He should get into politics and stop lying about being a reporter.

Acosta was there to create a scene so the left would have something to whine about. Mission accomplished.

Watch the video,

Are you referring to the doctored video from infowars the White House released as fake news? Which was slowed down then sped up to make Acosta look aggressive? After all, it would know all about fake news. And how eagerly its base would swallow it.

Acosta knows the protocol and violated it by not giving the mike to the intern and pushing her away. He is a grandstander, a self promoter and a douche bag. Certainly NOT a journalist. And has been pulling this nonsense since Trump's first days in office.

The ignorance of the right with regard to the role of a free press in our free society comes as no surprise, of course.

The contempt conservatives have for the role of a free press in our free society likewise comes as no surprise.

It is the role and responsibility of a free press in our democratic society to challenge elected officials, to hold elected officials accountable, to conflict with elected officials when they are being evasive and when they are lying, and to expose the lies and dishonesty of elected officials.

Journalists work for the people – not elected officials – they represent the people to our elected officials; a journalist is not doing his job – not working for the people, not fulfilling his Constitutional role as codified by the First Amendment – if he fails to challenge, to hold accountable, and at times to conflict with elected officials, including a president.

And typical of this misadministration, an inappropriate and unwarranted effort was made to silence a journalist’s questions because of an unfit, unprepared president’s contempt for a free press and the people’s First Amendment right to know.

This misadministration then further compounded its inappropriate and unwarranted effort to silence a journalist by contriving and propagating the lie that the journalist was somehow ‘in the wrong,’ and distributing a falsely edited video in a failed attempt to ‘validate’ that lie.

I see you swallowed the fake news video too. Here, check it out...

I saw it live and he pushed her away. There was no "hit" but he physically stopped her from doing her job. Do you defend his actions?

 

[cnm]

I saw it live and he pushed her away.

Yeah? Show me where.
You've swallowed.

 

[cnm]

Crap on a crutch you tRumpkins will just believe any old shit they decide to feed you.

And ask for more.

 

[cnm]

Do you defend his actions?

He did not assault her.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

At seven seconds in the You Tube video Acosta will not relinquish the microphone and places a restraining hand on the White House intern passing the microphone around to keep control of what he has been asked to turn over.

It's a remarkable act of "journalism".

Watch it without your Lib tinted glasses. You know what he did and you are dodging the REAL issue which was his incorrigible behavior which included physically resisting the young lady trying to do her job. Do you condone his actions?

You uh, need to look up the meaning of the word "accost".

I mean I get that there's a pun opportunity but this doesn't work. You can't "accost" somebody standing in one spot.

Maybe you want to go with "Jim Accosted". You know, as the recipient of the action.

Thank me later.

Pulling a mic away from the press isn't anybody's "job".

There may be such openings in North Korea. Not here.

Thank you for making my point. The protocol is to hand the mike to the intern assigned to moving the mike around the room so everyone has a chance to ask their question. Not physically block her so you can make a speech and draw attention to yourself.
