White House shares doctored video to support punishment of journalist Jim Acosta (Washington Post)

[Ted Frazier]

A right wing conspiracy theorist increased the speed of Jim Acosta’s arm movement, to make it seem he was violent against a White House aide as opposed to struggling for the microphone..
Additionally, Acosta’s “Pardon me, ma’am“ utterance was removed from the doctor video:

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Wednesday night shared a video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta that appeared to have been altered to make his actions at a news conference look more aggressive toward a White House intern.

The edited video looks authentic: Acosta appeared to swiftly chop down on the arm of an aide as he held onto a microphone while questioning President Trump. But in the original video, Acosta’s arm appears to move only as a response to a tussle for the microphone. His statement, “Pardon me, ma’am,” is not included in the video Sanders shared.

Critics said that video — which sped up the movement of Acosta’s arms in a way that dramatically changed the journalist’s response — was deceptively edited to score political points. That edited videowas first shared by Paul Joseph Watson, known for his conspiracy-theory videos on the far-right website Infowars.

Sarah Sanders' dishonesty problem just got a little worse.

The thing Trump fears most is being held accountable, because it’s never happened to him once in his entire life.

Fill the WH press corps with women of color and all support CNN. If CNN doesn't get called on, no one else raise their hand....if CNN's question isn't answered, everyone else ask the same question until it is answered.

Trump’s base defends Saudi Arabia’s right to assassinate journalists. No doubt they wish Trump could do the same to Acosta.

You clowns are funny

That entire episode (the news conference circus) was a STAGED event by Trump to mitigate the severe Tuesday losses and get his cult members to....once again....hate the media.........A reality show host's poor attempt at "drama."

 

[Sunni Man]

I watch Acosta assault her live on TV as it happened.

He deliberately with force struck her left arm with his right hand. ...

I saw it when it happened. Acosta resisted and pushed her arm away.

And Acosta went along with it?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Anyone who bleeds for Jim Acosta is a pathetic slug.


Jim Acosta? Really?


The martyr of our time?


The one man who DARED to stand up to America’s Hitler?


If Trump actually WAS Hitler, Acosta would be dead....as would everyone he ever knew.

That’s the irony of calling Trump “Hitler”. It’s so fucking lazy.

Yep, which is libel. I hope CNN and Acosta both file suit specifically against Sarah Sanders for knowingly, and willfully put out false information, with the intent of causing harm to that persons character. This is as clear cut a case as there is.

Here's a video slowed down by Raw Story, clearly showing the staffer putting her hands on Acosta four different times.
