CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point


Recommended Posts

This article...wow. 

https://www.thecut.com/2018/11/how-donald-trump-weaponizes-women-press-jim-acosta.html

 

"When Acosta disobeyed, the White House brought out the big guns: a young, female intern in a pretty shift dress, decorative necklace, and shoulder-length blowout, who bore more than a passing resemblance to Hope Hicks. It fell to this hapless intern to serve as the “muscle,” to physically wrest the mic away from the reporter.

Acosta put the intern off gently with a “Pardon me, ma’am” (the incongruous use of ‘ma’am’ to address a twenty-something only underscored Acosta’s respectful politeness). Briefly deterred, but clearly feeling duty-bound to hover, the intern then resorted to the ignominious posture of squatting down between Acosta and the presidential podium, waiting to spring again. From the floor, she looked up nervously at Trump a few times, at a loss for how to handle this task that had likely not been in her job description"

After further and very close review I don't see the evidence of alteration in the video that I thought I did.  More likely just crappy resolution from 2001 era camera.  It could be an older camera than that but picked that date because Clinton probably didn't have cameras in place. 

perhaps you might have looked further and very close before dropping that stupid comment then.

The best thing about the Acosta story is it's a reminder how trivial day-to-day politics is. A reporter acts like a dick and loses his WH pass. Big deal.  But the political universe is going nuts with some on the right decrying the brutality of this vicious assault, while the looney left dutifully and incredulously manufacture outrage to play the victim, concoct conspiracy theories even TGreg would have scoffed at, and pretend this is some kind of a constitutional crisis.

 

We're living in a ***** soap opera.

Nah, they just end the video before Acoster hits the woman's arm.

Not only that, they initially skipped the part when Acoster bent the poor intern over the podium and proceeded to violate her in a way Boyst does to his angus. When President Trump came to her rescue and pulled him off of the poor intern he was loudly booed by the press corp. Headlines soon after proclaimed Trump as the "destroyer of penetrating journalism".

They did that to show that Acoster (and CNN) were lying about him not touching the intern.

Hahaha, what a great take.

 

After seeing Trump lie today and say the video, that’s still posted on SHS’s twitter feed, isn’t doctored I wanted to see what the Republican echo chamber would say about it. Most of the posts are what I expected, but this one is pure gold. Pure gold, Jerry!

 

And nobody in the echo chamber bats an eye.

Well, anyone who thinks that slowed down and zoomed in is the same thing as "doctored" is a ***** moron.

 

Here's a thought for the NPC crowd, watch the video on one of the other 1,000 places it was posted.

So you believe the doctored video

 

No, I believe the live footage I saw. Thanks for playing, though.

Frames were added and the video was slowed down and sped up. But we’re the ***** morons, got it.

Voyeurism can be kinda creepy when you think about it. Admitting it's your kink is the first step in recovery. Godspeed Hix.

You're OK with what Jim Acosta did, think it's appropriate to lay your hands on other people as part of the decorum of a White House Press Briefing with The President of the United States; or you're denying that he did that?

 

I'm just trying to figure out which kind of stupid you are, the ignorant kind or the vile kind.

Considering that defending Acosta is defending his disruption of the entire White House press corps, I'd go with ignorant.

 

Really...Acosta has done more to suppress the press than Trump has.  Trump just fights with the media.  Acosta has actively tried to prevent other members of the press from doing their jobs.  It boggles my mind that anyone defends him.

Ha, it’s checking in, not voyeurism. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

 

I don’t partake much because I don’t have the time to vet each side like some do. But in this instance, the WH sharing a doctored Infowars video and then the President lying about it, I have been keeping up to date.
