Sarah Huckasands just released a statement that Il Douche will agree to allow Jim Acosta back in the white house if he agrees to wear the Hannibal Lecter getup. She quoted the president as saying “Jim Acosta is one bad hombre!”
“We stand in strong solidarity with CNN for the right to full access for our journalists as part of a free and unfettered press." — Fox News President Jay Wallace
“Fox stands firmly with CNN on this issue of access” —Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier
“This type of retaliation is wholly inappropriate, wrong-headed, and weak. It cannot stand. Reporters asking questions of powerful government officials, up to and including the president, helps hold those people accountable. In our republic, the WHCA supports the prerogative of all reporters to do their jobs without fear of reprisal from the government.” — White House Correspondents Association President Olivier Knox
The White House circulated a doctored video edited to subtly portray the incidental contact as approaching a physical blow. The doctored video is an exact match with a video posted by the conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars. Analysis of the clip prove frames 13–15 within it are paused (all three repeating the same image), resulting in compression of action at the lowering of Acosta’s arm.
The authentic video of the event shows that Acosta did not mistreat the intern. “Pardon me, ma’am,” he said, when she reached for the mic. After asking another question, he gave her the mic.
When all is said and done, history will accurately record that Mr. Acosta was faithfully doing his job in asking a public servant important & relevant questions to which the people — the President’s employers — have every right and expectation of having answered to them. Mr. Trump’s reactions, retaliations, and faked ‘evidence’ will also be documented.
Worst American President ever will be his final legacy, learned not from the media or Democrats, but from every student’s textbooks.
It would be more impressive if you drew your opinion praising your orange leader instead of attempting to denigrate a reporter you obviously have no respect for. Go ahead; praise your leader. I dare you.
The White House released a doctored video in order to spread lies.
And you’re upset that a reporter asked a critical question? Which is his JOB? And which Snowflake Donnie can’t psychologically handle?
Walter Cronkite would have the Orange Clown for breakfast. If you think Cronkite would let him get away with blatant lies, you don’t know Walter Cronkite.
https://money.cnn.com/2015/01/05/media/cbs-sharyl-attkisson-lawsuit-government/index.html I love the liberal response on this one. A stuck backspace key? Ye gads.
A pity you didn’t come swooping in to defend reporters who were critical of Obama.
“Walter Cronkite had class and on-air gravitas. He had a real gift for making left-wing propaganda sound like real news.”
===
Yeah Chuck, a sterling example of the left wing propaganda that Cronkite was spreading all the time, was when he narrated a TV series called “Air Power” about the Air Force’s part in winning World War II. It was made after the success of that other left wing propaganda series “Victory at Sea”.
.
Another example of the awesome analysis skills of the Trump Disciple.
Ramirez has it spot on. The difference is Cronkite was a giant in those days who had to pretend to be to objective and got away with it until he reported the American victory in Tet as a defeat. Today Acosta is just another small fry left winger in the progressive era where it is no longer necessary to hide your hostility toward traditional America.
Some day Trump will be gone; there will surely be some kind of backlash against the destruction of American democracy; but the egg has been broken, and it’s going to be hard to get it back in the shell. The Republican Party, in particular, will be damaged perhaps beyond repair. It would be good to see a new conservative party with real principles, instead of this gang of thieves and liars.
I would think they’ve done Mr Acosta a favor. Those “briefings” It must be torture for anyone except an imbecile or a Republican. deep into Alternative Reality.
I remember when Hillary was running for Senator- debating her opponent- said she felt “threatened” or assaulted when he approached her- did not even touch her- and got a little too close for her comfort I guess- really she just wanted to accuse him of being a masher like her husband or pervert Joe Biden-the Left is always projecting (accusing others of doing what they love to do)- The CNN guy doesn’t follow the rules- one question and then let go of the mike-I watch CNN – it seems to always be attack Trump- zero respect-it would make me sick to see them doing that to anybody- don’t they realize what the rest of the world thinks when they see that? they make us look weak and divided— if he were Obama- they would have been banned and drummed out of business for racism long ago and you know it. For almost 2 and a half years it has been … attack Trump- 24/7 365- whine about Trump and how he wants to destroy the free press and a total dictator blah blah-if he were such a bad dictator- they would be in jail or executed long ago. Obama banned many reporters for life and spied on many reporters-actually jailed a few to stop leaks and punish leakers and banned a few news services because they dared ask him “insulting” questions or printed something he didn’t like- One guy made a movie that dared to put him in a bad light (actually quoting Obama’s book and public information) was targeted for prosecution and was the only person to serve time in prison for “campaign finance violations”-they weaponized the IRS and did all kind of nasty things- that does not excuse Trump for breaking any rules- they just hate him because he will not be cowed into believing that their insults of racism ad nauseum are true. Trump should ban ALL of CNN reporters- since they hate him so much- gthey should be relieved and happy to be banned- the whole network= banned for life- what are they gonna do? they already support the Democrats 100%

Problem here is that you folks on the left only seem to care about overt hostility towards the media.
When it is under the radar, even when it is illegal attempts to suppress the press, you folks didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

Now, Fox commentators make the news, they do not report on it. They want to be famous to increase ratings and make money.
