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

[DigitalDrifter]

I watched the videos, and really don't see any difference.

Liberals defend the man who roughs up a female intern, shocker.

Bow to dear leader.

Leftists think women exist so that they can victimize them.

"doctored video" lolol.

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

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

What were you drinking when you watched? That certainly is not what happened. The aide made the assault on Acosta.

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.

The trouble is Acosta did nothing wrong. People should be held accountable and that is what Acosta was trying to do. Trump's rise to power is very similar to Hitler's. Find a scapegoat for your country's worries. For Hitler it was Jews. For Trump, it is Muslims and Hispanics. Hitler was a nationalist as is Donald Trump.
I have no doubt that if Trump could, he would get rid of Acosta permanently.

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.

/---- Both show JimBo assaulted the woman.

They do not. They show the aide assaulted Acosta.

bullshit. Accoster doesn't interview, or ask serious questions.

He accuses, and argues. That isn't journalism, and that's not what the so called *free press* is charged with.

He isn't operating as a member of the press. He's operating as a propaganda hit man for our enemies.

They showed Accoster acting like a hysterical guy who might be packing a bomb or a gun. What a crazed fruitcake..and within arm's reach of the leader of the free world.

Secret Service should have dropped him on the spot. I imagine they wanted to. Maybe next time.

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

/----/ Her job was to get the mic away from the woman beater.

She committed a assault to do it.

No, she did what she is supposed to do, which is to get the mic and move it to the next reporter. That's her job. Accoster doesn't get to hog the mic, wave his arms around and scream at the president.

 

[centerleftFL]

They got it from INFOWARS. I mean that's a fucking cliche. They know no one less scummy they could have approached to DOCTOR THEIR FILM? They used INFOWARs? FOX wouldn't do it for them?

Chrisst, Do these people do ANYTHING honest? Anything? They are SCUM top to bottom. And if they aren't hired because they are SCUM, they become SCUM. .

White House photography association slams Sarah Sanders for sharing ‘manipulated’ video of Acosta’s interaction with intern

Sarah Sanders appears on Fox News (screen grab)



The White House News Photographers Association on Thursday slammed press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for sharing what appears to be a manipulated video of CNN’s Jim Acosta allegedly mistreating a female intern.


“The White House News Photographers Association is appalled to learn that the White House spokesperson may have shared a manipulated video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s interaction with a White House intern during a news conference,” Whitney Shefte, the organization’s president, wrote in a statement.


“As visual journalists, we know that manipulating images is manipulating truth,” the statement continued. “It’s deceptive, dangerous and unethical.”

“Knowingly sharing manipulated images is equally problematic, particularly when the person sharing them is a representative of our country’s highest office with vast influence over public opinion,” the statement concluded.

[EvilCat Breath]

Too late. We all saw what happened. The white house photographers can stick up for their butt boy as much as possible. We saw it.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I've watched both videos, and do not see a contrasting difference

 

[there4eyeM]

It was definitely altered by several frames.

Dig it.
I saw it live and Acosta tried to drive the interns arm down from the mic by putting his hand in the V of her inner arm.

 

[B. Kidd]

And then on Anderson Cooper last nite, Acosta plays the victim and lies about putting hands on the intern. They also made sure that the mic interaction was not shown, and instead show a short vid of the intern crouching down before the real interaction occurs deleting it totally.
CNN has no standards and are a bunch of lying pukes!
I only tune in because it's good to know what the enemy is doing instead of relying on 3rd party propaganda.
Yes folks, it has come to this!

 

[Sunni Man]

The aide made the assault on Acosta.

Lol ....surely you jest. ...

 

[protectionist]

I saw it live and Acosta tried to drive the interns arm down from the mic by putting his hand in the V of her inner arm.

He did more than just TRY to drive her arm down. He did just that - about a good 10 inches,
