Really...Acosta has done more to suppress the press than Trump has. Trump just fights with the media. Acosta has actively tried to prevent other members of the press from doing their jobs. It boggles my mind that anyone defends him. It does? After 2 years of this ***** immature #resist temper tantrum? They defend him because they believe, and Acosta believes (and I'm sure he's been told by his friends and supporters) that he's the tip of the #resist spear. He's the bravest of the brave. He's a ***** hero. On a regular basis he positions himself only feet from Trump and makes Trump show the world how much of a Nazi Dictator he is. He is the equivalent of Tank Man in Tianmen Square. His treatment is further evidence of the steady trampling of the first amendment. Wake me up when he arrives at the gulag to have his organs harvested. 1 1

I may have used the wrong terms. Do you think, as I do, that the WH shared an altered video in order to make Costa’s actions appear worse than they were? Let me ask you this: forget for the moment what you believ the WH did...are you saying that in any version of the video you accept to be accurate, that you are okay with what Acosta did, both in his lack of questioning and pushing away of the girl? Can you admit what he did was okay with you?

They're talking about compression artifacts which happen during the upload. They're not added frames. They're not edited frames. It's compression artifacts that occur when you render and upload from one source to the next. The crux of your argument is built on people lying to you through omission. Don't fall for it. Think for yourself, trust your own eyes and go watch any of the videos of the event for yourself and see. You haven't addressed the Times article quotes I supplied that state that frames were repeated, and only repeated at the specific time of contact between Costa and the intern. You think that the repeated frames were due to the upload?

They're compression artifacts. People pushing this line on you are lying to your face. They're taking advantage of your partisanship and technological ignorance to convince you up is down and down is up.

When I see the WH sharing altered videos, with what I believe is the intent to mislead the public, I get concerned. What are your feelings on why the WH shared that specific video and are now doubling down that it wasn't altered?

Your inability to understand what happens to video when it is compressed is not a reason to blame the WH for altering the video. It's a reason to suspect you are not open to what happens to video when it is compressed. Read up. Learn. Educate yourself. Think independently. It's not that hard. Unless you're peace out or baskin.
DC Tom Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 47 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: Now you want to play semantics The video was slowed and zoomed. That's NOT altering the video. But it does change how the video looks, because it's zoomed and slowed. And the framing was changed. So technically, it was altered. But that's not the same as "doctored." 7 minutes ago, Buddy Hix said: I think Acosta was wrong to touch the woman. I also think the woman was wrong to try and grab the mic from Acosta.

You see people telling you the White House shared doctored videos. You don't actually know anything. 4

It must be a coincidence that the compression artifacts only introduced themselves during the downward motion of Acosta's arm. Must be. And it must also be a coincidence that the WH shared that video instead of the original.

So now you've moved from admitting that you misspoke, frames weren't added, the video wasn't doctored to... "it's a conspiracy!" This is what happens when you blindly believe the narrative that suits your partisanship over thinking for yourself. You get made to look stupid, and people laugh at you. Especially those who authored the narrative you're mindlessly parroting.
