Yes, but it doesn't give ANY members of the Press the "right" to enter the White House or even to be able to get near the President.

President Trump not only talks more to the press than any other President (almost daily as he stops when boarding Marine One or Air Force One and spends 15 to 20 minutes)...but the press conference yesterday was almost 2 hours long AND he called on Acosta to take a question.

It's not the President's fault that those people are in their grandstanding and making speeches that insult him instead of actually asking questions.

Think about it for a second in a reasonable way and put aside your bias against Pres. Trump.
Reverse this and think if it were conservative media doing this to Pres. Obama

They were NEVER rude to Pres. Obama at press briefings.
And Pres. Obama...as you so conveniently forget...had the FBI wiretap reporter James Rosen AND the news desk reporters at the AP.
Remember???

Or does your outrage over the First Amendment only apply to Trump and not Obama?
Think about it clearly for a second without emotion.

Also made GAINS in the House. That has only happened 3 times since 1906 for a party in power during mid terms.

By contrast...Pres. Obama lost SIXTY THREE seats in his first midterm!
And in his second...he then lost the Senate.

It was 367 but another position in the New Mexico House just officially turned blue an hour ago so it's 368 now!

They're still counting the votes here in California and 4 more red house seats are looking like they'll be flipping blue :thumbsup

Watched it live. He should have been charged with assault...A rude idiot...:2 cents:

She attacked him.

He was standing there talking, doing his job.

She attacked him mid sentence and attempted to take something from him.

She was the aggressor.

The aggressor is the assaulter in American law.

Not sure where you are

Yeah AUS is also very white. Why don't you try a country that isn't all white like your neighborhood? How about a little diversity? Why not try Honduras? Africa? Or even an islamic country like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia?

You are obsessed with me.

Show the real clip not the doctored one.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...rs/1929569002/

Wasn't exactly "doctored" (which would mean faked)...but they did slow it down and zoom in so it looks worse than it was in real time.

You Dems would love nothing more than to flood this country with shit immigrants from those hell holes. Once you have this country destroyed you'll move your virtue signaling families off to those other safe white countries and repeat the process till the world implodes.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

^^ The delusional left is now claiming the video is "doctored". - LOL!!!

The White House is circulating a doctored Infowars video

^^ That's FALSE. Paul Watson zoomed in on it. That's it. Zoomed, not "doctored."

MEDIA LIES, CLAIMS ACOSTA VIDEO IS “DOCTORED”

PJW Facebook - Proof I Did Not "Doctor" the Acosta Footage

Nice attempt to distract from Jim Acost-her's disgusting behavior :1orglaugh

You just defined "doctored"

Slowing down a video

Zooming in on one part of the video

Replaying the same part over and over again

Doctored: altered; falsified; skewed; manipulated

change the content or appearance of (a document or picture) in order to deceive; falsify.

Trump cultists think holding a microphone away from a spastic lunatic is assault but holding down a 15 year old trying to have sex with her is just 'boys being boys'.

Guys,

Why are you bothering to argue with Bladewire(s)?

It's pretty obvious that logic or reason isn't part of his paid shilling :2 cents:

So you think Trump should be charged with assault as well? If not you're a hypocrite.

Put politics aside, he was hey disrespectful to both the president and his peers. Even when the mike was taken from him he was still shouting at the president. He didnt want to give any other reporter a chance to speak so why would they stand with him?

Oh man; I watched it live. They didn't need to "doctor" anything.

Its scary that you red hats are in here defending the government of the worlds biggest superpower using videos made by conspiracy theory websites to justify silencing reporters.

USA is the new Russia, or is that North Korea... about the only two other countries I'd expect that from.


… think about that.

What drugs are you on?

I watched it live also. She grab the mic aggressively. He said excuse me. Remember the president you love does this to reporters that annoy him, it can happen with a president you don't like.

Orange King was the first to ever do that. How you guys defend him, he is truly an embarrassment. After Acosta he told the next guy, I don't like you either. This is our President

They did need to doctor it

That's why they doctored it

Most of them are the same alt-right hate troll with multiple fake nics :2 cents:

Haven't you noticed how they try to form the agenda of this forum?

Yes, the same reporters that call him "racist" "liar" "has dementia" "stupid"

Tony, if those reporters had done that to President Obama are you saying he would tolerate that shit?
You know...the same President Obama who had reporter James Rosen and AP reporters wiretapped by the FBI?
The same President Obama who said "I'll put Mr. Burgess up against Sean Hannity. He'll tear him up." and inciting violence against a Fox News host?

I don't think ANY President would put up with this shit. None have EVER been treated like this by the press. What do you expect him to do? Just stand there and take it?

What he should do is have any so-called reporter who shouts at him and is disrespectful thrown out and banned immediately.

The news will still get covered. Think about it...name me ONE piece of valuable info that Acosta has EVER gotten at a press conference? He doesn't. He only makes a scene EVERY time.
Without him, maybe REAL questions about policy will be asked and we can actually get information from the press conference instead of jackasses like Acosta grandstanding and trying to make a name for themselves.

Yes, Tony...the media you love can do wrong. And did. And paid the price.

How about a link to this photoshop ?

Let me tell you stupid fucks something. If a man had assaulted a female reporter the way that intern did, he would have been arrested.
That intern walked up and assaulted that reporter by trying to take his microphone away and you see it differently? Then you've been sucking the tRump cock way too long and you are as stupid as a goddamn sack of fucking rocks. Every single one of you fucktards.

so 3 assholes walk into a bar.............

yep ...

The Truth always wins!

Its funny isnt it. His voters are sheep, who think they are individual thinkers.

No of course not, but he didn't do it. He pushed her arm away. Gently. And let's not forget that he was doing his job, defending freedom of the press

I see it completely differently. He stood up to ask a question, when he was called upon by the President. Trump did not like the question, but Ascosta persisted like any good journalist would.

Watch the video:




Well first, it doesn't matter what Obama would have done. Trump is president now. What matters only is what Trump would do.

Trump could have answered the questions, or he could have deflected. He could have told the truth or lied, it doesn't matter at this moment.

Going back to your statement through, no I don't think Obama would have tossed Acosta out at all. And no, if Obama or Trump would have done it, no one in that room would have cheered for it. They are the press core. And as you saw right after the exchange, another reporter vouched for Acosta. No one would have cheered.


Honestly, hats-off to Sarah Sanders. She is spectacular at her job. She, like Kelleanne Conway, are masterful at changing the subject.

I absolutely do not see it that way at all. I saw a guy trying to do his job.

He did not shove her. Watch the video.

The interns arm was pushed away. Here's Trump history of treating women like this:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/po...-in-one-place/

That's called doctoring a video you fucking dumbass.

Their ignorance is the worst thing.

These caravans have been coming here 2-3 times a year for a decade and they all act like this is a world first catastrophe :1orglaugh

No it's not. It's EXACTLY what the NFL does in instant replay to determine what really happened on a play.

"You fucking dumbass". I would love to have you walk up to me and say that in real life. Fucking keyboard warriors with no class.

I would expect if I called someone that to their face I would get punched right in the mouth. And that is exactly what would happen to you as well.
Show some class and don't act like these people on here who aren't in the industry. Act like a businessman having a debate.

The video provided from Infowars which was shared by Sarah Huckabee Sanders had a few frames dropped out making it look like Acosta's hand move faster than it really did. It's a subtle edit, but it tries to change everything.

:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

LOL! You need to do a better job of blurring out the "Lorem Ipsum" text before you share fake headlines like this. (You maybe also want to use a better font for the headline.

Weak try!

I haven't seen that reported anywhere Mark. Where did you see that?
I wouldn't put it past anyone these days to do something like that in this political crazed climate.

But as far as I know it was simply zoomed in.

By the way...I don't think Acosta "assaulted" that girl at all. But by the standards the MEDIA and the Democrats created themselves over the past couple of years...he did.

If Corey Lendowski stopped a female reporter from grabbing candidate Trump by the arm and THAT was "assault"...and the female reporter was featured on CNN and MSNBC over and over as they "comforted" her for being "traumatized"...then turnabout is fair play.

If the so-called "left" wants to make a bunch of insane "rules"...then they have to be willing to play by them as well.

I personally think Acosta has acted totally unprofessionally. He never asks any substantive questions and has NEVER provided the public with any valuable information (you know...the actual NEWS).

Instead, EVERY TIME he is called on...he starts making speeches and insulting and attacking the administration.
It would be like me "asking" you: "Hey Mark, since you are a total asshole and a piece of shit and everything you do is wrong...what do you say to the critics of your newest horrible policy?"

That's not a question. That's grandstanding. And he's HOPING to get the President pissed.

The happiest person on Earth after that press conference and subsequent loss of his WH credentials is...Jim Acosta.

He has been wrangling for his own "show" for over 2 years now. This is the event that will probably put him over the top for it. Of course...first he will have to stay where he is while CNN tries to "win" the battle to get his credentials back.

I think Trump should give it back to him. Acosta does more to boost the President in the eyes of his supporters than any other person.

EDIT: Just to clarify...the theoretical question to Mark does NOT reflect the way I think of Mark. I've gotten to know him a bit and he is a great person and businessman. He is from Canada...but I have forgiven him for that. lol

^^ He heard it from Brian Stelter on CNN!! LOL

It was simply zoomed in. The fake media is trying to distract from Accosta's actions. They can't stand the fact that Sarah Sanders shared the video that InfoWars released. Mark got duped by fake news (again) :1orglaugh

Brian Stelter is a complete shill for the Democrat Party. He doesn't even try to hide it.
And he has been "outed" lying multiple times.

There are YouTube videos dedicated to showing him saying something on air (lying) and then showing the proof that he lied.

He and Chris Cillizia have the dubious distinction of being the worst of the worst at CNN.

Larry King spoke about all this last night. You know...Larry King who was on CNN for decades and has been in the biz for 60 years.
He said that CNN "stopped doing the news years ago, Fox is Trump TV, and MSNBC is all anti-Trump all of the time"
He said he has never in his life seen the media act this way and it's disgraceful.

Really interesting to see some comments here..the leftist media here of course writes stuff like Trump tries to oppress the critical press etc..

On every news source online

Trump's White House spread altered video and presented it as truth.

Expert: Acosta video distributed by White House was doctored | AP News

You're an idiot to accept this shit from your government. This is the kind of disinformation that China and North Korea shit out to their citizens.

It really is bad, I watch CNN daily while I work, so for 8 hours a day I get to listen to them. I know Trump is not doing the nation any favors with the shit he says, but CNN does the same thing. They didn't even mention what happened to Tucker Carlson, I know you differ on politics but to simply ignore what happened to another member of the ''media'' shows you that they don't care. I have no issues if they would just come out and stop acting like they are reporting the news.

Jim Acosta is not a reporter, it's no big loss that he won't be covering the white house anymore. Kaitlan Collins is far better than him anyways. Just today CNN when shitting on Trump brought up that he called a reporter stupid. They then stopped and had to correct themselves. He called an African American reporter stupid... What does her race have to do with it? As much as people say the right dog whistles, how is that CNN comment right there not a dog whistle that the president is racist because he called a black reporter stupid. He calls everyone stupid regardless of race, but they pushed the black button all morning.

He is not a reporter based on what? He has worked as reporter basically since college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Acosta


"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears." That's the Trumpers in a nut shell.
George Orville 1984

You are right perhaps I should have said that in my opinion

He is not a reporter based on his recent body of work. He is as much a reporter as Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson or Don Lemon.
