Lord, dannno. A karate chop is a specific thing. One stiffens the hand, one strikes with the edge, one focuses the force and momentum to maximize the impact.
Look at the pic you posted with the cute little red circles on it. If he tried to break a board with that form--his fingers curved and apart that way--how many bones would he break?
The guy was not being a journalist. He was being an immature little jerk. That kind of behavior would get him kicked out of most preschools. This pro- versus anti-karate chop noise serves only to distract people from that fact. It's a distraction. It can only obscure the ugly truth about how low CNN has sunk.
It's a nothingburger that CNN wants people to talk about because the more some people focus on a nothingburger detail, the more other people will decide the whole incident is a nothingburger.
Stop obsessing.
It is the best and closest description to what happened. It was a strike with an open palm in the same motion as a karate chop with the same contact point. I called it a light karate chop.
It is not enough to call it an assault, but it's enough to pull his creds, that is not how those things are supposed to work.
The right is not obsessing, the left is obsessing over it. The right is simply defending their position.

He grabbed the mike with one hand and tried to push her away with the other arm.
He's an $#@!. One needs no karate to be an $#@!.
Of course leftists are focusing on the karate chop statement. Anyone who knows the first thing about karate can tell a chop from a backhanded shove. The left will pick at any tiny factual mistake in a desperate attempt to discredit their critics. Only an idiot would play that game.

It is a fitting description for moving his hand in that manner and universally recognized.
The left is way too quick at times to describe normal social situations as abuse yet here we have an example of a man intentionally putting his hands on a woman, preventing her from doing her job and they defend him. If people do not wake up to all the incidents this year where the left has exposed themselves for being the frauds they are, they never will.
If this was outside the press room we typically would have seen some guy become her white knight, whom would have came at him in a physically threatening manner or actually kicked his ass for it. If he did this too another guy outside that room in many cases it would not have ended well for him.

I thought he wasn't rough with the young lady though still very disrespecting and humiliating for himself, he just looks like a child that isn't done playing with his trucks.
He should've had his WH credentials pulled when he disrupted Trump and Kim's summit talk. American reporters lobbing political grenades during tense nuclear sensitive meetings is just stupid. He should've been fired by CNN on the spot for that kind of behavior on the international stage. But Jim Acosta is CNN's very own walking talking virtue signal.

"It's probably the biggest hoax since Big Foot!" - Mitt Romney 1-16-2012 SC Debate
appears there is legal precedent that a white house press pass can't be revoked without due process
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...s-pass/575479/
"The new steps enunciated in the Sherrill decision to ensure that reporters’ First Amendment rights are not violated include the requirement to give the reporter notice and the right to rebut a formal written decision, which must accompany any revocation. “We further conclude that notice, opportunity to rebut, and a written decision are required because the denial of a pass potentially infringes upon First Amendment guarantees,” the court’s ruling states. “Such impairment of this interest cannot be permitted to occur in the absence of adequate procedural due process.”"

actually he did ....he karate chopped her arm. I watched it multiple times. He wouldnt shut the hel l up, after trying to bring up "carvan" and race issue as usual. What is there to DEBATE about illegal immigration , at this point? COME check out my state if you want to see how $#@!ed up it is.
Karate chop.
The scenarios are different. In that case Sherrill it was the application process that was not following due process and Sherrill was never giving a WH pass or explaination for his application denial. In Acoster's case, he's had a pass for many years, and due to his behavior and actions his pass is revoked. There is no question why it was revoked, maybe he deserves a formal statement but you can't site the Sherril case saying it supports Acoster when it is categorically different.
I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

You should take sides.
Jim was given a fair amount of time for questions, and refused to give the mike up.
Why should Jim get more talking time than anyone else?
Is he special? Is he asking those tough questions that speak truth to power?
Some of you so-called fence sitters are so phony.
If it's Luke Rudowski up there, I think he would be right to be rude, and ask President Trump real, hard hitting, truth to power questions.
But we're talking about Jim Acosta here. He is sleazy, selfish, and unprofessional. He is not allowed to hog up the press briefing time.
BTW, Trump has by far been the most transparent and open president. He does not shy away from the press. He has endured more B.S. from the press than the past few presidents combined. And I mean he has given more press conferences, talked to the pres, more than any other president, ever. Even though all they ever ask about is Russia and whatever the other "scandal de jour" is.
So to say you aren't taking sides, "cuz its WWE, they all the same, dur hurr" is just ridiculous.
LOL. I am not fence sitting. I genuinely could give a $#@! less about this show. Trump had every right to take his pass. However Acosta didn't assault her and I am not going to give it a second thought other than in this silly discussion. If you want to dwell on it for the rest of the year, be my guest. It's still a somewhat free country. Otherwise don't act like I'm obligated to care.
