I saw it in real time and my first reaction was “That’s a battery charge” and posted as much right here on freerepublic.

“Never let him have access to a microphone.”

Need to let a big bad Secret Service agent pass that mic around also. That’d be hilarious.

Why not just get a mic rigged up so that when Acosta grabs for it and starts chatting...it just starts playing Bee Gees music until he releases it?

You must have missed the Helsinki press conference.

The entire corporate media is like Acosta. They use their press access to launch partisan attacks, not to do journalism.

The reporter—CNN’s chief White House correspondent—kept hold of the microphone and tried to finish asking a question, saying, “Pardon me, ma’am,” to the intern.

Oh, well that makes it all right!

Oh, and this “doctored footage” crap — uh, huh. Just another story like “Trump makes fun of disabled reporter!” Report non-truth as truth. Repeat.

Or put an “off” switch on the podium?

I keep reading “doctored” video. What proof is there of this?

Have multiple microphones and shut one down when the other is handed over.

Makes it part of the process.

Every single video every single news outlet uses is “doctored” in some way

Sped up, slowed down, freeze-framed...any version one watches of this (except the one CNN “doctored”) it is clear to anyone what happened

The 5th amendment says to let unruly protesters into the WH?

Guarantee Trump will call on him after a couple briefings, prefaced by something like “Go ahead Jim, let’s see if you’ve learned any manners yet..”

Just yank their FCC altogether!

CNN is on cable and is not a "broadcast" platform. There is no FCC license to yank

There is a procedure to suspending press passes...due notice. He was supposed to get notice said the judge.

This is just following that Due Notice procedure. The doofus will have his press pass suspended.

Acosta’s claim was grounded on his expulsion as impairing his income and professional standing. Mere street protesters lack any such basis for suit.

I saw the assault live. Acosta assaulted that young lady and I said so the moment it happened. The White House could have pressed charges.
