Hey look! More distraction from Democrat crimes and their supporters by creating yet another freak show. I changed my mind, that house staffer should file charges for assault now.

Let's see how the courts rule on this.

Quote
an unabashed attempt to censor the press and exclude reporters from the White House
who challenge and dispute the President’s point of view

Seems about right.

Quote
As the President explained to Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes: “You
know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative
stories about me no one will believe you.”

Oh, he literally explained his playbook... alright then.


Quote
That is why the D.C. Circuit has been clear
that “the protection afforded newsgathering under the first amendment guarantee of freedom of
the press requires that . . . access [to White House press facilities] not be denied arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons.” Sherrill v. Knight, 569 F.2d 124, 129 (D.C. Cir. 1977).

Oh, nice, precedent!

Well, unfortunately the USA now has a petulant brat for a president, and ~40% or so give it their stamp of approval. At least the president didn't have the secret service tackle the guy to the ground and beat him up. After all, the intern the president had remove the microphone was really petite. It wasn't like a typical bar bouncing situation. If Jim feels that his 1st amendment rights have been infringed, then he should proceed to Federal court, ASAP, and settle this civilly. (If he hasn't already done so.)

Quote
CNN has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for revoking correspondent Jim Acosta's press credentials, the network said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The wrongful revocation of these credentials violates CNN and Acosta's First Amendment rights of freedom of the press and their Fifth Amendment rights to due process," a statement from CNN reads.

I wonder how a similar outburst would have been handled at the CNN Board of Directors meeting.

(not actually, actually you and I know full well how)

lol...

The issue is how to handle a complete asshole in the crowd that's hogging the other reporters' time.

You mean Trump right ?
No, I mean the reporter.

But it doesn't bother me if you want to assign the term to Trump. He's certainly got an odd personality and such; we all recognize that.

I would have told him "Shut the Fuck Up, You Idiot!" or maybe "Suck some CNN cock." No, ignore that last one that's you that do that....

I mean, if you think governments should censor their citizens you should move to China or Russia. That's not how the United States operates.

Really?

Even those countries use Roberts Rules of Order for meetings and such, with a few exceptions.

Russa - 148

China - 176

Thanks to our dumbass president, we dropped a bunch of ranks.


So much for "freedom of press" in the land of the free.

One: It's not my claim, it's the claim of the whitehouse spokesperson that the footage was "sped up".

Two: My usage of "false flag" is perfectly fine in this sense. The whole "karate chop" distracts from the fact the president told an individual member of the press to "shut up". If we had a "presidential" president, they'd have calmly let the reporter talk, say "no comment" or rebuke the statement factually.....

"False flag" is incorrect.

As for speeding up the video, I do that all the time, no big deal. Because the amount of content is so low, why not.

Stop whining.

A false flag? What? Do you even know what the words you use mean?

http://www.yourdictionary.com/false-flag

"false-flag
Noun

(plural false flags)

    (nautical) A ruse, in the days of sail, in which an attacking ship would fly the colours of its enemy until close enough to open fire.
    (espionage, military) A diversionary or propaganda tactic of deceiving an adversary into thinking that an operation was carried out by another party."

So your theory is Jim Acosta is an undercover Republican operative sent to discredit CNN and the Democrat party? Mmmmmk.


Why don't you make it absolutely clear and source the exact image you claim is doctored.

>the deception creates the appearance of a particular party, group, or nation being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility.

We're talking about the guy committing "violence" rather than presidential silencing of press. It's a pretty good disguise.

The best part is the "violence" was doctored footage, which "was sped up, but not doctored" according to the whitehouse.

Speeding up the video "is" changing the footage.

Even if what you are claiming were true, this still doesn't make it a false flag. Learn how to use words, then debate. Also, once again, source the image you are claiming is doctored. Not an article the image might be in, the URL to the image itself.

Uhhh, okay buddy.

If we had a "presidential" president, they'd have calmly let the reporter talk, say "no comment" or rebuke the statement factually.

Instead we had a whining baby cry that they shouldn't have the right to speak. The baby didn't like what he heard to he ended up taking away their right to speak to him.

Again, we're not even talking about the president silencing a reporter; which was the whole point of the whitehouse speeding up the footage is to make Jim Acosta seem like the "violent bad guy" rather than the "silenced journalist".

It's a pretty sad state of affairs of easy the "right" forgets that "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" is something the government CANNOT infringe upon.

'BUT MAH 3RD PARTY PROVIDERS MUTED MY CHAN' -- guess what, that's not a government entity bucko.

Yep, that's conservatives. You know those people who are big on individual freedoms and diversity of thought and speech. They are horrible! Not like those awesome Socialist types you find on the left who argue for collectivism, sanitation of offensive ideas, ending free speech, and  who take turns sharing the same brain.

As far as I know, most conservatives think the world was created by a mythical being that lives in the sky or someone's heart, or some other bullshit.

Of course if this mythical entity told them to jump, they'd jump Wink

What's really funny is the video's doctored to make Jim Acosta look worse. If you want the video that I posted, this whole thread is a nothing burger.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a24937408/kellyanne-conway-jim-acosta-video-doctored/

Oh please do source this "doctored" video so we can do a side by side comparison. You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you. Source it.

"That’s not altered, that’s sped up," said Conway of the video, "They do it all the time in sports to see if there’s a first down or a touchdown. I have to disagree with, I think, the overwrought description of this video being doctored."


Conway's statement is mind-boggling on a couple of counts. For one, speeding something up almost certainly falls under the definition of altering it. And sports analysts don’t usually speed up the action to get a clearer look at it—slowing things down tends to offer a more detailed look.

If you read the article; you'd see the source. Pretty sure you can compare the gif I linked on the first page to OP's post.

Overall, this is a false flag right wing operation to target the media.

"THAT'S A STUPID QUESTION?"

ha, what a presidential response to a question.  Roll Eyes

This thread exists, the right wing making up fud happens. Wink

I agree that Trump is a bombastic asshole. However, the Democrats just couldn't put a wave together that was big enough to not only impeach the mutha, but have the Senate remove him from office. All we can reasonably hope for is that he rage quits.

I mean, if the Republicans would stand up to bullies, we'd not have this problem; the problem is their rank and follow attitude. I swear the whole lot of 'em would jump off a bridge if instructed to.
