    LMFAO :) You are serious? Now that was totally ridiculous, she doesn't speak a word, she just moves the mic around the room :roll:

    That's her job. He was told "next question", her job is to grab the mic and move the presser along.

    Not stand there and argue with everyone who thinks their question wasnt answered sufficiently.

    Why not just give her a baseball bat that she can use to hit journalists with?

    I kind of doubt that her "job" is to forcibly take mics away from mean journalists.

    In Acosta case it was unavoidable due to his reluctance to give up the mic.. If you cant see that then your simply refusing to be honest about the whole encounter!

    Because, up until this point, no journalist had ever tried to fight her over the microphone.

    Pretty cut and dry.

    And yes, her job is to grab the mic and move the show along. That's been their job for years.

    Of course it's not, but it's her responsibility to move the mic and it's Acosta place to release it, but you know that ;)

    The two aggressors were Trump and Acosta. They both acted like middle school boys in a pissing match. They should both be suspended.

    Bad Plan. I worry he'd start to play with his GI Joe toys at the bottom of his toy box instead. Little Donny needs to be kept occupied so he doesn't get into more mischief than he already does.

    Good point.

    Idle hands doing the Devil's Work.

    More time to call his buddies in ISIS to greenlight "Another 9/11" on Election Eve 2020.

    Good point.:salute:

    BS.... She initiated the contact.... that's what there is no dispute about...

    To lump this in with #metoo diminishes that 100 fold and you should be ashamed...

    The Vid Sara Huckabee Posted wasn't intentionally Doctored


    There's no evidence that the video was deliberately sped up — but the change in format, from a high-quality video to a low-quality GIF, turns the question of whether it was "doctored" into a semantic debate.

    This video analysis by BuzzFeed News demonstrates what the GIF conversion process does to video. While it's not technically "sped up" by intent, it effectively is in practice. The video-to-GIF conversion removes frames from the source material by reducing the frame rate. The GIF-making tool GIF Brewery, for example, typically reduces source video to 10 frames per second. Raw, televised video typically has a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second.
    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/acosta-video-trump-cnn-aide-sarah-sanders

    the Vid wasn't intentional doctored for any nefarious reason the format was changed so then it could be posted on sites like Twitter and in process of changing formats it appeared to speed up the vid

    and next will remind you libs this is from BuzzFeed before you jump off claiming RW bias

    She reached for the mic after Trump said next question...

    If they allowed every journalist to keep the mic indefinitely, nobody would ever get a question in.

    Are people really having a difficult time understanding?

    Fact is, if a conservative had pushed the arm away from Obama's aide, youd be singing a different tune.

    she was doing her job
    If you allow me to borrow your phone and I refuse to give it back when you ask and you reach in to grab the phone and I push your arm away
    you are the aggressor you are in the wrong?

    do you know how much of a foolish idiot you make your self out to be

    No I wouldn't....an Obama aide wouldn't have had the lack of training to do what the Trump aide did, but if they did and got jostled in return, that's what you get for being rude... I don't condone rudeness on either side....

    So, now it's changed from "Acosta put his hands on that young lady!" to "well, yeah--she's supposed forcibly take mics away from baaaaad journalists!"

    lack of training?
    is there a coarse on how you properly remove a mic from a rude journalist that refused to give it up after his turn was done
    do you call in the secret service?
    do you just give up and let that rude journalist keep the mic and continue to ask question for the rest of the briefing not giving anytime for anyone else to ask any questions?

    Pretty soon, they're going to have Acosta walking into the Trump Dump carrying a hidden switchblade looking for a fight... Beyond pitiful....

    Hmm. Good questions.

    While I doubt that her "job" is to forcibly take microphones away from journalists (that ultimately would have to be someone else, I would think), her job is probably to move the mic around the room to journalists called upon.

    "He raged through the crowd and pushed a handicapped intern's wheelchair over and started kicking her as he threw dog turds at a courageous Donald Trump!"

    Your typo is perfect.... it was coarse behavior, on the dreaded "both sides"....

    But if you are seriously asking, the simple way you shut Acosta down is have the intern stand directly in front of him (blocking his view of Trump, which is actually difficult to do) with your hand out. You could also ask "May I have the microphone please", but that's optional. A simple hand out is the way to go.

    To... grab for the mic shes supposed to pass on to the next reporter?

    Ill be sure to go to my next Town Hall and refuse to let anyone else speak. Then, when they try to take the mic from me, I'll push them off and claim they're being rude.
