It is altered for sure. She raised her arm as he lowered it after signaling for attenton and the speed changed. It is time to say ok, you MUST apologise for this and fire anyone sourcing bullshit material like this again.
What's hilarious is that the 'grab them by the pussy' bully is using the excuse of 'put his hand on a young girl' as reason for punishing someone.
No one actually believes Jim Acosta did anything wrong. This is one of those situations where conservatives collectively pretend to believe something they don’t believe. Pretending to believe something they don’t believe serves multiple purposes: One, it signals tribal loyalty. Being willing to say blatantly false things shows you put tribe over truth, and that is a critical loyalty test, as anyone who has studied cults can tell you. Two, they’re trolling. “Triggering the libs” is the meats and potatoes of their political ideology these days (read my book, Troll Nation). Telling blatant lies and watching liberals make themselves crazy insisting on “facts” and “evidence” makes them laugh in delight. Three, they are trying to push the idea that violence against women isn’t a real problem, but something people only pretend to care about to score points. How better to seed that idea than only pretending to care to score points? Fourth, it's about reestablishing Trump's narrative that the media are the "enemy" to be defeated instead of a Fourth Estate necessary to keep democracy healthy. This helps, in turn, fuel the already strong message that democracy is wrong and authoritarianism is right. Fifth, it's a straight up distraction. Trump wants everyone "debating" a completely obvious video, instead of talking about how he's trying to conceal what is almost certainly very serious crimes by interfering with the Mueller investigation.
Personally I'd post only one item about the S Sanders, a clock until she apologised for this in a little space on the front page of CNN for as long as it takes and the others should do the same. She needs CNN & others so if nothing with her face on it gets reported they will bend at the WH. Poison gas is a line, famine apparently not but doctored footage is a generally accepted one that is going to be lost soon.
There are no consequences to their bad actions, the situation is hopeless, a cult of brain dead morons is protecting these criminals.
