    The video wasn't "doctored". More craziness from the left.

    They just can't tell the truth.

    For your reading pleasure:

    "Assault and Battery

    Two separate offenses against the person that when used in one expression may be defined as any unlawful and unpermitted touching of another. Assault is an act that creates an apprehension in another of an imminent, harmful, or offensive contact. The act consists of a threat of harm accompanied by an apparent, present ability to carry out the threat. Battery is a harmful or offensive touching of another.

    The main distinction between the two offenses is the existence or nonexistence of a touching or contact. While contact is an essential element of battery, there must be an absence of contact for assault. Sometimes assault is defined loosely to include battery.

    Assault and battery are offenses in both criminal and Tort Law; therefore, they can give rise to criminal or civil liability. In Criminal Law, an assault may additionally be defined as any attempt to commit a battery."

    Again, I'm not claiming that what happened is either of these things, so what the **** are you going on about?

    How is it doctored? This doesn’t take away Acosta’s tantrums over the last 2 years.

    I can't comment on the 'grandstanding' allegation (Donald sure was) but do you agree she moved in very assertively, very briskly, stridently, and with clenched teeth and jutting jaw physically lasjed out with an outstratched armed, grabbed at the mic without an initial neutral gesture or request that he hand it over?

    If this was truly an incident of unlawful aggravated (male on female) assault, is it not the duty of the White House to make a formal complaint to the Cops? Yes?

    I say the video shows that the intern was the victim of Acosta's aggressive bullying - text book battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

    If you agree with me your pretty smart. ;-)

    This link in the OP shows how it was doctored. I care not about these other matters you refer to. This is the White House promulgating truly fake news via a doctored video, acknowledged world wide as having been doctored.

    Hey that’s your right I saw a side by side comparison on YouTube and the differences are hardly noticeable, people saying it’s assault on the intern and people saying this is assault on media are both the same flaming partisans trying to manipulate facts. End of the day It’s the presidents show he gets to decide who’s there if he’d ban all of cnn I’d be on the lefts side but he didn’t he banned Acosta

    The basic point is.....there should be zero differences. Sanders was promulgating a doctored video. Isn't it an offence to utter false documents/images?

    I’m not sure on that but it would make a difference whether she knew it was doctored or not to me anyhow. This whole twitting is fairly new to presidential administrations. My main problem with this isn’t the allegation itself because she shouldn’t knowingly share doctored video but the timing. It seems like people are using this to vindicate Acosta’s behavior.

    They should have two mics and remotely cut one off. They can call it the A-cost-a nother mic procedure.

    I am totally unfamiliar with the history of Acosta. What I saw from him on this occasion was something quite typical of journalists doing their job fearlessly, as ought to be expected.

    You don't suppose that journalists would be required to hand over White House Property when ordered to do so?

    He was never ordered to do anything. At no time did she either gesture (in a neutral fashion) or even ask for him to hand it over. She was a determined, aggresive, strident, assertive woman on a mission which was to manhandle the mic from him.

    Some have asked how the video was doctored. This expalins it in some better detail.

    Trump told him "THAT'S ENOUGH' about one million times! What the hell do you think the young girl should've said?

    Other than aggressive, what is wrong with any of that? What's wrong with a woman being determined, strident and assertive?

    Imagine the gall, a reporter insisting the president not lie.

    Of course, in Trump's case, it takes gall to ask the Prez to tell the truth.

    You think that's why he has been banned? Surely you can't be serious.

    You SHOULD do your research before making a claim such as the administration doctors evidence! You don't even know that the allegation of doctoring is against Info Wars!

    A millisecond of difference that could be explained by video formatting! :roflol: What would a millisecond difference have achieved anyway? You think it makes Acosta look like an evil woman basher?
