Acosta has pass revoked

Jim Acosta no longer has access to the White House.

CNN's Jim Acosta has press pass suspended by White House, Sarah Sanders announces

Was he rude enough to deserve this? Share.

Asking questions the President doesn't want to answer, how rude.

We've had almost two years of Donny in the White House, these reporters should know by now that questions must be confined to the weather and President Twitters golf game.

Not really. Jim Acosta's unconscionable speech, and subsequent pushing back White House personnel supporting the President's admonishment of Mr. Acosta amounted to the trouble this fella got himself into all by himself with nobody else's assistance.

You'll notice that if you examine your own response objectively it's filled with subjective conclusions. The fact of the matter is that "rude" is a matter of opinion and regarding the subject of freedom of the press it sets an unfortunate precedent when a reporter is not only tossed (perhaps permanently) from the White House but also horribly slandered in public by the POTUS afterwards for attempting to do his job, even if the President doesn't like said reporters "style". Acosta could have acted more professionally but he didn't do anything that was extreme and the press needs to be given the leeway in such situations, else the Freedom of the Press is supposed to enjoy is confounded and eroded.

This is just a continuation of Donny's attempt to intimidate those segments of the press that report things he doesn't like and his comments afterwards (regarding the reporter and the company he works for) resemble something one might have expected to find during the mid 1920's in Italy.

Did you notice me shoving somebody in the tit region, dear? You're the one pointing the finger at me for subjectivity when you refer to the President of the United States as "Donny".

I refer to President Twitter in a less than deferential fashion because overall I don't approve of his behavior and given the fact that he works for me and not the other way around, I as a citizen am well within my rights to do so (well at least until he and his cohorts get around to working to intimidate private citizens for expressing views he doesn't like I suppose), he'll get more respect and less ridicule when he begins behaving in a fashion that merits it. On the other hand, unlike him I don't go about attempting to use State Power to intimidate anyone into silence.

His treatment of the members of the press that are critical of him goes beyond "business as usual" and into the territory of using the power of his office for intimidation. The press often deserves criticism and Presidents often take more than their fair share of unfounded derision from the Press. However, there's a "Presidential" way to handle it, if you want some examples look no further than the often self-deprecating witticisms of Ronald Reagan or Gerald Ford, heck even George W. Bush managed to stay reasonably civil even when facing an unending storm of media criticism. Donny (and his immediate predecessor) handle it like they're unusually thin-skinned kindergarteners, which only serves to make things worse and deepen the already eroded service that the Press is supposed to provide the public.

As I said, Acosta could have behaved more professionally but IMHO his actions weren't anything beyond the pale and certainly don't warrant indefinite suspension and all the slander hurled at him and his organization by a sitting POTUS.

You saw the head of the donkey. I saw the other end, and it wasn't nice.

I refer to President Twitter in a less than deferential fashion because overall I don't approve of his behavior and given the fact that he works for me and not the other way around, I as a citizen am well within my rights to do so (well at least until he and his cohorts get around to working to intimidate private citizens for expressing views he doesn't like I suppose), he'll get more respect and less ridicule when he begins behaving in a fashion that merits it.

Well you're a better person than I. I don't approve of him because of his face. Just look at that face. Can you believe people (especially women) voted for a face like that? Hard to imagine a President with a face like that!

 

[WEATHER53]

Way to go. That simple ass shit is rude and disruptive and does not ask questions but rather offers personal opinions that he thinks Trump is supposed to respond to the way he (Acosta) agrees to
When the President tells you that you are done talking, then you are done you twitchy twit
Also, he used his superior size and strength to shield the young lady away, that is sexist and abusive and you tears soaked libbies should be up in arms if you are genuine

 

[mudwhistle]

the bottom line is, Trump isn't quick on his feet , far more used to CEO board rooms full of parroting yes men, than how a democratic republic responds

~S~

Sorry, but when the person asking the question isn't asking a question, but instead making a false statement the president has the right to cut him off. Journalists are supposed to report the news, not push their fucked up opinions down the presidents throat. He doesn't have to put up with their lies or their protestations.

ahhhh, sarah and whitehouse DOCTORED THE VIDEO or used a doctored video... explains why you all believed the whiehouse crap

Sarah Sanders accused of circulating 'doctored' video of Jim Acosta’s interaction with White House intern


Video of Acosta incident posted by White House press secretary contains extra frames
A video shared by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders showing an incident involving CNN reporter Jim Acosta and a White House intern contains extra frames that do not appear in the C-SPAN broadcast of the event.

this sounds just as bad as saying acosta backhanded her.

both sides are looking for about anything at this point except reality.

the first article is from FOX on it, don't you believe it?

and Marketwatch.com is not a partisan site.

besides, just watch the 2 different videos, one real, one doctored.... no other way to describe it... honestly...

Sanders may not have created the doctored video herself, but she did use a doctored video.

i edit videos for a hobby. a good friend does it for a living. the videos are not edited - at least any i've seen in these articles yet.

if you speed up the frame rate and that is all you do, EVERYTHING moves faster, which is not happening in any video i've seen yet. if you speed up his arm you get a ghosting / predator / halo effect on video like this - and again, not there.

people need to quit making shit up to be mad at all around. for all the mocking you do of the right when they say something outlandish you turn around and do the same thing by diving into things like this.

She used an INFOWARS video that was Doctored.

your choice, pick your own site as a source!

was video of acosta doctored - Google Search

I don't know if the Fox supposition is correct or the one on marketwatch which claims frames were added...

adding frames now? i guess when the first technical explanation goes splat on the wall you change it to keep the conspiracy alive.

adding in frames is going to require copying existing frames and dubbing them in which would increase the time differences between the 2 videos, of which isn't happening.

next up - they hired actors and re-enacted the event completely and released that video.

From one of them google links

"But according to an analysis by The Independent, the video instead appears to have been doctored to freeze for three frames the moment before Mr Acosta's hand pushes down on the aide's arm.

Ms Sanders' tweet came exactly two hours after the same video was shared by Paul Joseph Watson, editor-at-large of InfoWars, a far-right conspiracy theory website fronted by Trump-supporter Alex Jones."

Funny too the doctored video shows clearly who invaded who's space and was aggressively trying to rip the mic away from his hand. He blocked her with the other. BFD.

Not at all surprising of the L'yin bastards Administration. It's just what they do!

White House Bans Rude Reporter

Because the one thing we all understand about Trump is that he detests rudeness...

 

[g5000]

they are jackasses and rude

Textbook projection by Trump of his own qualities onto others.

 

[conserveguy877]

The Democrats have gone so low to justify the assault Acosta did. Why karate chop a woman? Acosta thinking she was going to hurt him? Shame!

I don't dislike Donald Trump the person, heck as one that has followed his career since the 1980's I find certain things about him that are admirable, however his public behavior and his often egregious exaggerations of and complete disregard for the truth aren't among them.

IMHO If he'd just shut his mouth, close his twitter account and stick to his policy agenda he'd be doing a lot better from a public relations standpoint, as it stands now all he does is feed the hunger of his "base" for ever more outlandish demagoguery and deepen the divide that exists among the citizenry.

He's quickly becoming the modern day equivalent of Caligula.

 

[task0778]

The NBC video shows Acosta's left arm reaching across the woman's body to touch her left arm, preventing her from grabbing the mike. So, are we to believe that NBC is using a doctored video? To me, it wasn't all that egregious, BUT when the President tells you to sit down and shut up and give up the mike then that's what he should have done IMHO. It's called deference to the President of the United States, you don't keep talking and interrupting the proceedings. Jim Acosta is IMHO a jerk; you don't have to like the man who is the POTUS but you damn well have to respect the office he holds and the building you're in, and Acosta didn't do that.

Places like the WH have the right to bar people for heckling. President Trump dealt with the Heckler Acosta pretty smoothly, but the guy wouldn't shut up. He took it over the limit, even accosting some broad. If I were President, I probably wouldn't have suspended him yesterday. I would have just had the Secret Service drag him out, rough him up a little bit and deposit him into the official Presidential Dumpster.

I think that could straighten Acosta out.

And the lefty moonbats would have gone bananas, which would be tons of fun.

 

[Olde Europe]

There is a major difference between President Trump and his political adversaries.
He has been dealing with the business world for over half a century, and he values hardworking, no-nonsense people who can take a task and finish it with a profit. He has blessed this country by taking up America's fiscal issues and putting the best people in solving the business end of this nation's well-being by doing his best to fix the problems. True, he may be a novice in some areas, but he extends his right arm out to sincere Americans, and not egocentric character assassins whose narcissism exceeds propriety.

President Trump has a beautiful wife in the world, so I don't love him, but I respect what his potential is, which is to shoot America's star above the rest to improve and maintain our American way of life, to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, and to protect our nation from predators within and without our borders. He's a winner with a proven track record of fiscal accomplishments, and he shares the same faith as President Eisenhower and President George Washington, both of whom with God's dear help were key in winning battles somewhat different than those we have today--one was engaged in winning freedom and establishing the Constitution, one addressed constitutional amendments that hadn't quite reached their potential if only to assure that men of color who gave their all in WWI and WWII were adequately compensated with equal pay for equal work, shoulder to shoulder, starting with the opening of public schools to their children and children from every background as well, equal opportunities to learn and to earn good livings alongside their white brothers. Notice my emphasis was on equal, not better than and not worse than. The Constitution says equal, and that's what President Donald Trump has placed as a cornerstone in his presidency with results in the real world as his basis for choosing who does what. In return, his opposition has assumed the position of giving him a bad hair day, and every time he shells out retribution for their wannabe assassins of his character, the entire groupthink left goes into a tizzy to the point of creating a universe incompatible with business realities.

And I like President Trump. He's a real person to me, if you get ugly with him, you get ugly payback that you deserve. He knows how to give and take. That drives some of his loyal opposition to become shrill antagonists.

And the left is not gonna like it when they can't engage in the huge spendathon they thought they were going to get if they won the House of Representatives by any means possible. The reason, however, is not Donald Trump. It's because the people of the USA ensured that the Senate doesn't allow cuckoo budgets that would create a national debt ten times what it is now.

Trump will win the battle of the budget. And he has my wholehearted endorsement to do so.

Post from UpIsDownistan. It's as fake as that InfoWars video, an invention to confer sainthood to a Mob boss in the process of shredding whatever is decent and lawful and standing in the way of autocratic rule, any similarity with current events in the real world carefully avoided. There's a lot of supine Trumpy adulation around on these boards, mostly of the merely ludicrous kind, but this one clearly trumps it all. "I need loyalty," said the Trumpy, Trumpletons eagerly answer the call, and if they need to brutalize reality to get it done, so be it.

Really, study that thing, closely, and if you ever, at any moment, catch yourself nodding in agreement, do have a stern word with yourself.

If you look at the C-Span video and the White House video, an objective viewer can see the White House doctored the video.
We all know that C-Span is not ideologically driven.
Compare the two videos side by side. (See link).

2) Tinted red and made transparent over CSPAN video
3) Red motion is when they doctored video speed

5) I've edited video for 15+ years
6) The White House doctored it

i'm picking no site at all. i've seen the videos and i know for a fact you can't simply speed up the frame rate to get what you think you're getting.

you laugh at others for falling for a conspiracy theory then you run out and do it yourself. the video editing has already been debunked several times. but if you are hellbent on believing it, you will. much like those who think acosta "backhanded" her, you're going to die believing the video was edited.

you tell me - if you speed up the frame rate, how come the people in the background are not going "keystone cop" on us also?

It's not a conspiracy theory Iceberg, it ACTUALLY HAPPENED....

you can see they are different.... I'll wait for your apology!

By Drew Harwell
November 8 at 1:14 PM

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 video was first shared by Paul Joseph Watson, known for his conspiracy-theory videos on the far-right website Infowars.

Watson said he did not change the speed of the video and that claims he had altered it were a “brazen lie.” Watson, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment, told BuzzFeed he created the video by downloading an animated image from conservative news site Daily Wire, zooming in and saving it as a video — a conversion he says could have made it “look a tiny bit different.”

Side-by-side comparisons support claims from fact-checkers and experts such as Jonathan Albright, research director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, who argued that crucial parts of the video appear to have been altered so as to distort the action.

The video has quickly become a flashpoint in the battle over viral misinformation, turning a live interaction watched by thousands in real time into just another ideological tug-of-war. But it has also highlighted how video content — long seen as an unassailable verification tool for truth and confirmation — has become as vulnerable to political distortion as anything else.

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