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

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. 

I read what tech expert Jonathan Albright said about the shared video. It was either edited, altered from compression or altered from conversion. No verdict is reached. 

 

But I would expect a reasonable person to look at where the alterations occur (only during Acosta’s chop) and the source (Infowars), and then consider why the WH shared that particular version. I think most would conclude that disinformation was the objective

Funny. I would expect a reasonable person to watch the video for themselves. If you do, and watch it side by side with the zoomed and slowed video, you'll see they're identical - but for the zooming and slowing which is not doctoring the video. 

 

Or... you can believe the words of a "tech expert" who is lying to you. 

 

This is why I keep pushing honing your own discernment. It's the only thing that will get you through the (dis)information war we're all combatants in at present.

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

 

For the record, this is where you started this morning. You've now moved off it, admitting no frames were added, yet you're still pushing the same narrative - facts be damned. 

 

Is it possible you've been had?

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?

How do you feel about the Whitehouse blaming videos for the deaths of Americans?

 

It's amazing how naive you are.

He's too stupid to understand, too dishonest to admit that, too lazy to look for himself, and too disinterested in the truth to separate himself from #orangemanbad

If you despise Trump, there’s *literally* nothing you can say about him or his supporters that is beyond the pale in mainstream media.

 

If you don’t recognize that dynamic as the driver of all of Trump’s hostility toward the media, you’re too far gone.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument that it was doctored. People that know a lot more than I do about video compression and reproduction say it wasn't, but let's say it was.

 

Did you have the same deeply held feelings and concerns when the white house intentionally lied to the public about a video prompting the embassy attack in Benghazi?

A reasonable person doesn't do photo analysis on youtube.

I think Buddy H simply misunderestimated what he thought and/or said and/or meant earlier about the tape.  What he was 100% certain of was that in every way possible, the Trump WH was part of it.   

 

He was pretty clear that the young lady who's main job at the press conference was to move the microphone from participant to participant was a big part of the problem for trying to move the microphone from one participant to another.

CNN and Acosta sue not just the White House, but also individual secret service agent because Acosta is classy like that. https://mobile.twitter.com/charliespiering/status/1062351684750458885

https://mobile.twitter.com/AP/status/1062352634995269632

 

The WH was probably going to let him come back to the briefings after a short time, that makes for a more effective example for the rest.

 

But now............................they almost have to keep him out due to the lawsuit.....................:lol:

I haven't read the complaint yet, but I heard (not confirmed) it cites both 1st and 5th amendment concerns :lol: 

 

Acosta is asserting that he, individually, has the right to be in the White House press pool?  On First Amendment grounds?   That's insane.

 

And the insanity doesn't even begin to touch on a Fifth Amendment concerns, which is even more laughable.

 

He should be beaten with a length of rubber hose.

Oh, just ***** that *****ery.

 

Acosta doesn't have a First Amendment right to be an ass to the rest of the press corps.  CNN might have a First Amendment right to be present at briefings - I'd argue they do - but that right is not embodied in the person of Acosta, and they can assign someone else.

 

5th Amendment...

 

Quote

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

 

What crime was he punished for?  What double jeopardy was he subjected to?  What testimony against himself was he compelled to give?  What life, liberty, or property was taken from him?  What private property was taken for him without compensation?  :wacko:

Is that asshat is trying to claim he has a property right in his 'hard pass'?

Only possible thing that makes sense.  

 

Can't wait until the court forces the White House to give it back, then they take it away again, then he sues for double jeopardy.

Accosta is a that.

Those must have been done on a keyboard designed for a person with ten thumbs, right? I was going to highlight "have doesn't" and ask you if you meant half dozen but realized that your entire post deserved highlighting because WTF?

I'm not sure that they do.

 

That would be an argument that all press outlets have the right to be in the briefing room.

 

I would argue that their First Amendment protections are limited to the Government's lacking of the authority to silence them, or to prosecute them for publishing or disseminating.

 

Being in the briefing room is a privilege.

I'm pretty sure this was the Madlibs he was talking about.

 

Also, golf is a sport.

Not just all outlets, but specific people from those outlets.

I was addressing Tom's narrow argument that CNN has the First Amendment right to be in the briefing room.

 

However the absurdist in me would I'd love to see liberals successfully arguing that corporations are people.

Of course it is. I was obsessed with it for years.
