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

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.

 

It does?  After 2 years of this ***** immature #resist temper tantrum?

 

They defend him because they believe, and Acosta believes (and I'm sure he's been told by his friends and supporters) that he's the tip of the #resist spear. He's the bravest of the brave. He's a ***** hero.  On a regular basis he positions himself only feet from Trump and makes Trump show the world how much of a Nazi Dictator he is.  He is the equivalent of Tank Man in Tianmen Square. His treatment is further evidence of the steady trampling of the first amendment.  

 

Wake me up when he arrives at the gulag to have his organs harvested.

I don’t need to get caught up in semantics, I’m not a technical expert on the subject matter. I may have used the wrong terms.

 

Do you think, as I do, that the WH shared an altered video in order to make Costa’s actions appear worse than they were?

 

Let me ask you this: forget for the moment what you believ the WH did...are you saying  that in any version of the video you accept to be accurate, that you are okay with what Acosta did, both in his lack of questioning and pushing away of the girl?

 

Can you admit what he did was okay with you?

I did address it, three times now. They're talking about compression artifacts which happen during the upload. They're not added frames. They're not edited frames. It's compression artifacts that occur when you render and upload from one source to the next. 

 

The crux of your argument is built on people lying to you through omission. Don't fall for it. Think for yourself, trust your own eyes and go watch any of the videos of the event for yourself and see. 

You haven't addressed the Times article quotes I supplied that state that frames were repeated, and only repeated at the specific time of contact between Costa and the intern. You think that the repeated frames were due to the upload?

I have. Now four times. Compression artifacts are not added frames. They're not manipulated frames. They're not repeated frames. They're compression artifacts. 

 

People pushing this line on you are lying to your face. They're taking advantage of your partisanship and technological ignorance to convince you up is down and down is up.

I think Acosta was wrong to touch the woman. I also think the woman was wrong to try and grab the mic from Acosta. But that is inconsequential to me.

 

When I see the WH sharing altered videos, with what I believe is the intent to mislead the public, I get concerned. What are your feelings on why the WH shared that specific video and are now doubling down that it wasn't altered?

As of this moment, that still has not happened. Yet your concern is still at 10. 

 

Ask yourself why. Why are you still concerned about something that's been proven to you (now multiple times) to NOT have happened? Could you be letting your emotions overtake your sense of logic?

Your inability to understand what happens to video when it is compressed is not a reason to blame the WH for altering the video. It's a reason to suspect you are not open to what happens to video when it is compressed. 

 

Read up. Learn. Educate yourself. Think independently. It's not that hard.

 

Unless you're peace out or baskin.

Now you want to play semantics  

 

The video was slowed and zoomed. That's NOT altering the video. But it does change how the video looks, because it's zoomed and slowed. 

 

 

And the framing was changed.  

 

So technically, it was altered.  But that's not the same as "doctored."

But you don't see the White House sharing altered videos.  You see people telling you the White House shared doctored videos.  

 

You don't actually know anything.

It must be a coincidence that the compression artifacts only introduced themselves during the downward motion of Acosta's arm. Must be.

 

And it must also be a coincidence that the WH shared that video instead of the original.

So now you've moved from admitting that you misspoke, frames weren't added, the video wasn't doctored to... "it's a conspiracy!"

 

This is what happens when you blindly believe the narrative that suits your partisanship over thinking for yourself. You get made to look stupid, and people laugh at you. Especially those who authored the narrative you're mindlessly parroting.

It's easier to just defend the WH putting out fake videos! Stalin would be proud

The video was altered. Your statement that downloading it changed it is pretty funny though

Considering he's the person being accused of doctoring the video, it seems wise to share what he has to say on the subject. 

 

...Unless you're trying to push/sell a bogus narrative that is, then you want to suppress all the evidence that doesn't fit your lies.

Then you should be fine hearing from the source of the "doctoring", rather than snarking, no?
