CNN's Jim Acosta has press pass suspended

Consider Joy Behar. She blamed the failure of Progressives to take the Senate on gerrymandering.

Now, she was corrected, but if she said that and wasn't corrected, the gullible would buy her claim - Yep F'n Republican gerrymandering...

Of course, nobody mentions California, where Dems gerrymandered the entire state, and which provides 53 House members.

These talking heads say things that are outrageous and so completely full of crap, and they don't suffer any repercussions.

 

you think info wars is the only outlet that has posted the vid of the assault? it originated from C-Span

go to 1:25



here it is from Global News

go to 1:27



did they doctor it also?

 

No, that's the real video. The fake video speeds it up to fake a "karate chop" and cuts out the verbal exchange.

 

Exactly.....here you have the DC press corp asking the same questions that Trump already gave answers to. 52 times he has been asked about being a Nationalist. At least 12 times about the Caravan of Migrants.

ACOSTA <<<<< No Mr President its not an invasion. Just some Migrants trying to make their way to the US.

Yet Acosta's Lame ass wont get out there and ask We the people that question. Know why.....as it will burst that leftists bubble.

 

The dude's a jackass - I've never seen anything like this.

And as long as CNN itself hasn't been suspended or barred from covering Trump in these settings, I have no issue with it.

 

LOL... Joy Behar?? This is a thread about journalism and news outlets, neither of which is represented by Joy Behar...

SMH at that one...

 

speed looks the same to me but of coarse the old tactic of screaming it was edited so it never happened tactic used all the time with Project Veritas vids

 

I my eyes A LOT at (D) sanctimony. Eric Holder's NDRC definitely "won" some races for (D)'s Tuesday. I've read that Holder's group alone invested $50 million in gerrymandering lobbying last year with pretty measurable success.

 

Joy Behar is held up as a spokesperson and a "news" commentator. Hello? What do you think The View is about, sewing and cooking?

Don't let the facts get in the way. She is part of the left's noise machine.

 

That's because Project Veritas also engages in deceptive editing and has been caught doing so many times. Look, I actually agree that there are justifications for yanking his clearance over this, but cries of "karate chop" and "battery" are just pathetic nonsense.

 

Oh Walt, I think he handled him just fine....like any petulant child should be handled...told to shut up, then sent home...but hey it was good theater....Which is what the activist Acosta wanted....

 

She's not remotely left.

She's a liberal cog in the oligarchy's MSM noise machine.

 

Yes she is.... but that has nothing to do with CNN.... There IS a Joy Behar thread on page 1 if you want to go pile on Joy for her dumb statement... I'm guessing you do...

 

are you denying that Acosta put his hands on the female staffer (which by definition is an assault and battery) so she wasn't able to retrieve the mic doing her job?


An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person or, in some specific legal definitions, a threat or attempt to commit such an action.[1] It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal and/or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and tort law.

Traditionally, common law legal systems had separate definitions for assault and battery. When this distinction is observed, battery refers to the actual bodily contact, whereas assault refers to a credible threat or attempt to cause battery. Some jurisdictions combined the two offences into assault and battery, which then became widely referred to as "assault". The result is that in many of these jurisdictions, assault has taken on a definition that is more in line with the traditional definition of battery. The legal systems of civil law and Scots law have never distinguished assault from battery.

A little desperate this morning? Imagine yourself the thread police?

Comments about news, how it's presented, and the personalities involved, are certainly within the scope of this thread.

If you're in the mood to attack, why don't you find a more credible reason to do so?

 

No, nor am I denying that this could have been a good reason to yank his clearance. I'm claiming there was no "karate chop" or "battery" and that videos have been edited to try to beef up this false narrative.

 

Charge him as they did Corey Lowandowski

Its so delicious=)

The guy is a moron to the extreme. To say he's just there to ask "hard" questions is a joke. He disrupts the entire conference and monopolizes the stage. RUDE, disruptive and unprofessional and certainly didn't act that way with Obama. NO ONE DID!!!!

Did he assault her? No. He just didn't give up the mic like a mature responsible JOURNALIST should have. He's not qualified to be there.

 

There is no evidence that the contact was harmful in any way.

 

By Acosta who believes HE is supposed to be making news not reporting it. He placed his hands on the young lady refusing to turn over the microphone and stepping on the limited time for other reporters to ask questions as he attempted to DEBATE not ask a question. He should be gone permanently.

 

You're defending that ? Really?

 

But But But.... she started it.... reaching for the magic Acosta wand like that....

Judge jeanine ALSO at the rally lol

Hannity is a POS...at the rally he literally said “By the way, all those people in the back are fake news"
