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

[koshergrl]

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.

Uh, no. It isn't *assault* to do as she is supposed to do, and take the mic from one reporter to give it to the next reporter.

The press knows that is what the interns do, and they realize that in order to be welcome in the white house, they need to observe some social protocols..

One is you don't accuse and argue with the president.
One is that you don't fight with the interns when they come to get the microphone and take it to the next reporter.

But the CNN guys aren't *press*. They are enemies of the US, enemies of the president, and they don't observe form because they are paid to disrupt the form and function of the pressers.

If it is doctored, and the WH KNOWINGLY shared a doctored video, then this is something that we as Americans absolutely cannot tolerate.
Heads need to roll on this one.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And by the way, in NO WAY am I sticking up for Acosta. The man is a dick, a drama queen who should be given his own CNN show, they could call it, "Badgered By Jim Acosta".

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. .

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.

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

It's pretty much par for the course from this WH, lie, lie, lie and lie some more.

They could have used Breitfart, they are also known for doctoring up videos for liars.

It must suck to be as confused as you.

This coming from a Trumper……………...I bet you still believe Mexico is paying for the wall.

Click on the video in post 11 and you can decide for yourself.

The Trumpanzees are so deeply invested in idolatory, they won't believe anything that looks bad for the Orange Turd.
Sarah's twitter certainly lit up after she posted this.

Says the lead bum in a bum rush.

For me the intern was just the icing on the cake. Any president shouldn't put up with the lip Acosta was giving Trump. On that alone he should be permanently banned from these news conferences.

I'll take that as a compliment coming from a man who believes anything Trump tells him.

If it's true, but makes the Cheeto in Chief look bad, the Trumpanzees will immediately scream their favorite mantra.................."fake news".

If it is decidedly UNTRUE but makes the Cheeto in Chief sound strong, or look good, they swallow it whole, without questioning the source.

 

[BigTruck]

Both videos show Acosta making physical contact with the intern.

He may not have intended to be physically rude, but he was being rude in attitude by not surrendering the microphone as he should have.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

It all comes down to if the video was doctored, and if WH staffers knew it was and presented it to the public knowing it was.

If it was Sarah, or anyone else, they MUST go.

If they honestly didn't realize the video was altered, then that should be forgiven, but they must check these things like this out in the future.

Totally agree.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Acosta said he pushed her out of the way so he could continue to ask questions. She was trying to take the microphone. Sorry. Her job is to take the microphone and pass it to the next reporter.

Like everyone else he gets one question. Maybe one follow up question. There are other reporters and they also get to ask questions.

Acosta should be fired for manhandling that girl.

Explain to me BT, how do you think you can just walk up to someone and take something out of their hand.

 

[BS Filter]

The looney leftist idiots don't understand that Acosta has broken one of the major tenets of journalism, don't become the story. He's arrogant, narcissistic, and wants to be a star. Bad attributes for a journalist.

What a crock of shit, you don't walk up to anyone and just snatch something out of their hand. Also he didn't manhandle that woman, that is just a flat out lie.

It is her job. Acosta's job was to hand it over like everyone else.

Her job is to pass the mic, not take it away from anyone.

I saw it. And Acosta admitted that he pushed her out of the way. He was supposed to give that mic to that girl.

He just stopped her hand from grabbing the mic, he didn't mishandle or assault her. What a bunch of bullshit.
