One question...If Trump had touched a young female just like this how would the press respond?????/

Very good summary...

, Sherrill v. Knight, 569
F.2d 124, 129 (D.C. Cir. 1977) (denial of White House
press credential violated the First and Fifth
Amendments when done without any indicated
standards or an opportunity to respond)

One thing I'd like root and the others who defend Acosta to think about, why do these Msm people get special privileges? Why isn't anyone who runs their own blog granted a white house press pass?

I think it's fair to say it was "doctored" in that it was edited for dramatic effect in an effort to imply that what happened was worse than it really was. It wasn't doctored in the way that NBC intentionally edited the George Zimmerman audio to make him sound like a huge racist. But it wasn't necessary to do anything with the Acosta video other than just let it play and show how much of a whiny child he is. And saying that he touched her is true, but it was incidental contact, and he did say "excuse me, ma'am" (something that was also left off the edited clip), so it's not like he was being aggressive toward her like the edited video is trying to suggest. The WH should have just said, "Acosta can come back from timeout when he starts acting like an adult", and left it at that. Bringing the intern into this is unnecessarily dramatic, IMHO.

Thanks for proving that you actually don't bother to read anything, and are just blindly following what you are told to. And I'm the one called an NPC.

Three or four times now I have not only said Acosta did wrong, but he should be tossed. Ends do not justify the means.

It's kinda like people who are upset when say a murderer gets due process, and instead he should just be shot in the street.

Damn, he shut up quick

You are similar to my Cougar brother that still whines in the '98 Rose Bowl against Michigan, the clock didn't run out like the refs called, because Leaf spiked it on time, and the Cougs would have made that 60 yard Hail Mary and won.

Acosta blocked/hit/slapped/jacked off on the page's arm. She was doing her job and every other reporter in the room knew that.

doctored, no. enhanced to show the incident easier, absolutely.


like the thousands of slo-mo, 5th camera view of football replays every week.

Not comparable. Nothing was cut out that changed the context. Acosta was being a dick and not following the rules. The authorities went to remove the microphone very gently and he physically resisted. When the woman reached for the mic he should have let it go. Instead his BS grandstanding led to physical contact that didn't have to happen. If it was a secret service agent he'd have been on the ground.
