Was Video of Reporter Jim Acosta Doctored to Look More Aggressive?

Did the White House share a doctored video of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's encounter with an intern during a testy exchange with President Trump? Acosta, who's a frequent target of the president, had his press pass revoked late Wednesday after being accused of "placing his hands" on an intern who was trying to take a microphone away from him. The reporter was in the midst of a terse back-and-forth with Trump, whom he was trying to ask a question about a migrant caravan heading for the U.S. #InsideEdition

She's more aggressive than he is.

And why the hell is an intern grabbing the mic? Wtf

[glorifieduniverse]

“He held his ground” he’s a reporter and should be reporting not arguing his ideological disagreements.

The White House intern came at him aggressively. She put her hand in his personal space first. His reaction was a reaction to her invading his personal space. I thought he handled it the right way respectfully even when he wasn’t treated with respect.

Jim Acosta feels so entitled to everything!

Even if the video isn’t edited I don’t think Acosta did anything wrong. If you watch the video back you can see that the force of her pulling the microphone away from him cause his other hand to move. I don’t this was intentional at all, I think he handled himself very well.

I watched the press conference and the only thing doctored is the doctored story.

Since when does the WH care about assult?

[hotrod]

Only CNN says it was doctored. Everyone watched the live

[shocktrooper]

They think just because they don’t like trump doesn’t mean that they can be disrespectful

[pakers]

The President needs a Marine Gunny Sargent to control the microphone; not a female intern.

That was lighter than a hand shake they be cappin....

[emilybazer]

Why would they have her go snatch a mic from a journalist anyways? Who asked her to do that? I feel she was way more aggressive than he.

[pecatoribus]

Bye, Bye Acosta. "You're Fired".

[galaxynbla]

Regardless whether he touched her arm or not. He is a disrespectful reporter that relentlessly fire questions without regards of other reporters turn.

[neverbackdown]

The look exactly the same. He needs to start listening. There has been several times when he is acting out, being rude, and not following the rules.

So all of a sudden Trump and his dirty minions care about “woman”? Lol yeah okay 👌🏼😂😂👍🏻

[jenniferlawrenceofficial]

When the President told you: That's enough ! and you keep talking, you don't respect the protocol you need to support the consequences .The reporter was rude, unprofessional.

[andrewglinski]

Contact or no contact, he deserves it.
