it is accurate, he brings his arm down, touching her, to push her arm away.

Acosta is a jerk. Won’t listen, won’t shut up. He’s monopolizing everyone else’s time. Clearly mom never taught him any mannners.

If that is "unacceptable touching", everybody is guilty of sexual assault every day of their lives.
Must be something in the name, "Acosta."

She reaches for the mic with her left hand, Acosta comes down on her arm with his left arm.

Who claimed sexual assault?
Acosta got to ask a couple questions, Trump said "Next", the girl reached for the mic, Acosta wouldn't give it up.
Acosta, you're fired.

If you really look at the video, she touches him first- has her hand over his hand that's holding the mic.
There is no spoon.
28 seconds in, he lays his hands on her, sort of a light karate chop to the arm.

That's her job, to take the mic and give it to the next person when their turn is over. The mic is not the personal property of the reporters.

If you really look at the video without TDS, she's just reaching for the mic cuz that's her job. Acosta knows this and uses his left arm to push her arm away from the mic.

OOh, now it is a karate chop. Hope he didn't break her arm!
Dude was obnoxious as hell. What part of one question each does CNN figure means excepting them?
If a Republican did this they would have to make a public apology and resign if they were not immediately fired. The cable news networks would be covering it 24x7 for days until he is fired or resigns.
A light karate chop to the arm is an accurate description of what happened.
I'm not saying it was a big deal or that he hurt her, just that it was uncalled for and the media is lying as usual.
In fact, a reuters reporter on twitter was showing stills of incident and complaining without showing the karate chop.

thank you for agreeing he did touch her, please edit your #2 post

I'm surprised Acosta's press pass wasn't suspended a long time ago. Every video I've seen of him he goes on and on when it's clearly time to give up the mic.
CNN's ratings are in the toilet, however. If they don't go gonzo, they won't have any viewers at all.

Donald Trump / Crenshaw 2024!!!!
My pronouns are he/him/his
The incidental contact was just the excuse to ban him.
https://variety.com/2018/politics/ne...nn-1203022818/
From a previous time Trump tried to ban a CNN reporter:Trump has previously threatened to pull a reporter’s credentials on the basis of their coverage. In a tweet he sent in May, he wrote that “the Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?”
During his presidential campaign, his team barred The Washington Post and other outlets from campaign events, typically held in venues that are considered private property or secured under a rental agreement. But the situation is different at the White House, which is government property.
When Trump broached the idea in May, some media law experts said that such a move would not be legal. “Denying White House press credentials to reporters based on the content of their coverage would violate the First Amendment, as the DC Circuit made clear many years ago in Sherrill v. Knight,” said Theodore Boutrous, a partner at Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher in Los Angeles. The case is a 1977 decision in which the court ruled that when it came to bonafide journalists covering the White House, that “access not be denied arbitrarily or for less than compelling reasons,” including the content of their coverage.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44963659
CNN condemned the ban as "retaliatory" and "not indicative of an open and free press". The White House Correspondents Association called it "wrongheaded, and weak".
Traditional rival Fox News also attacked the ban.
"We stand in strong solidarity with CNN for the right to full access for our journalists as part of a free and unfettered press," network president Jay Wallace said in a statement.

He doesn't have to ban them for content.
How about he ban them for refusing to follow protocol?
You get a question, and a follow-up. Next guy's turn. Acosta breaks this protocol like, every time.
Acosta, you're fired.

the court made no determination on what would constitute arbitrary or less than compelling reason and deferred that determination to the secret service. They could easily show his escalating shameful behavior over the past 2 years and that would rise to a compelling reason.
I hope he takes it to court. Another drama show to watch.
Still waiting for you to edit your #2 post.

Why the hell are you allowed to be here? You denied it happened, then you called it sexual assualt, and now you're mad because ???? @Bryan, if we did a GoFundMe, could you make Zippy disappear? We'll buy out his share. Him owning a portion of these forums is the only thing that makes sense in this relationship.
THis should have happened 2 months ago. If CNN had a shred of integrity, they would have pulled him off the beat when it became obvious the reporter's relationship to the subject became the story. But they're looking for ratings. They were probably hoping that Acosta and Trump would come to blows.
I'm glad this is finally ending.
Not just obnoxious - the question was straight up "When did you stop beating the caravan?" People are supposed to go to journalism school to NOT ask those type questions
Post count is priority one.

On twitter it is far worse. They are even saying she attacked him. It is like they all got their marching orders.
Their actions during the press conference were obviously coordinated, they got the response they wanted and now the pre-planned social media response.
If I go to the airport I have to do what they say , if these people go to the white house they have to do what they are expected . Next
Do something Danke
