Are you kidding me? He is a visitor... she works there. She sets the rules on mic usage, not him.

They slowed the video down for crying out loud... that's not "doctoring" the video.
They slowed down/sped up *specific* frames to make his action look like a “karate chop”, a talking point parroted by numerous posters on this thread.


That’s literally the defninition of doctoring.

Grabbing at people because Trump's little feels can't handle what they say are the rules? Of course they are. We would expect no less from this WH.

LOL, how stupid do you think people are? The video was not edited/clipped, it was slowed down. It showed continuous coverage of the event. The end message is the same.

Fairly stupid, as evidenced by this thread.

If the message was the same, the videos would be identical. They are not, nor is “the end message the same”.

Slowing down and speeding up specific frames in video editing software is indeed editing....

Jim Acosta asks tough questions, which is great and that's his job.

It is not his job to constantly abuse his time and disrespect the president and the employees trying to do their job at the press conference. He should have relinquished the microphone when Trump asked him to.

He didn't push the intern, but he did hold on to the mic firmly and wouldn't let go. Aggressive for sure.

He deserves a suspension. You have to be professional and respectful.

Speak for yourself.

Cognitive dissonance is a concept too, you should look it up.

The speed was changed to a faster (slower?) rate and they cut out Acosta saying something like 'Pardon me ma'am'.

Thank you for a rational and reasoned view of what actually occurred.

How refreshing.
