I am not really interesting in a debate with you about UK vs American politics, its quite apparent from you post that you lack any kind knowledge of how UK politics works.
My point is that Trumps dealing with this matter was shambolic and is a slap in the face of freedom of the press, not to education you on the finder points of how UK politics works.

He should have slapped the idiot. He wasn't the only person in the room. He's been tolerated long enough.

I certainly do believe that a message must be sent, these people are ruthless and somehow feel that they are in a position to say their two cents to POTUS when they have the chance.
After a close examination of the altered video side by side with the original video as it first appeared on C-Span, it seems the moment of contact, where Acosta's right arm which is pointing towards the podium coming down on her arm, is sped up to make it appear like he's giving the intern a hard chop.
The altered video also shows the C-Span clip full length, then zooms in once for a closer look at Acosta's arm coming in contact with the intern's.
It is then zoomed in even closer and shown four more quick, successive times.

Good to see that your a supporter of freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
Don't like what he's saying, "slap the idiot".
hmmmm....

Jim Acosta is a very intelligent man,
who asks pertinent questions
that tend to make President Snowflake cringe with hatred.
Acosta also very clearly stands up for one of the most important foundations of our democracy --
Freedom of the Press.

I'm surprised so many people support this. I see it as infringement on free press and free speech.

He pushed down on her arm hard enough that her shoulder involuntarily lowered. Fast or slow, that is completely inappropriate.

Maybe the president should pull the press passes of anyone who asks him uncomfortable questions?
That’ll show the press to report anything critical of the government. Where are my real patriots at?

In the UK we have freedom of speech, I am free to express myself in anyway I wish.
I can stand in placement and say I am against homosexual marriage for example and not wind up in jail. A journalist can ask some difficult questions and not lose their access to politicians. Its somewhat strange that you seem to think that as a American you are somehow more free than others.
Since you do not have the same protections I understand your confusion
Kind of ironic that you are talking about this kind of stuff yet in the same breath defending a president who has shown time and time again he does not respect or understand the concept of freedom of the press and denounces them as a enemy of the people.

That was after she assaulted him grabbing at the mic.
While her job may be to hand the mic around she doesn't have the right to pry it from his hands.
That is what security or just a soundman is for. Cut his mic. Simple.
If he wants to continue being a baby after his mic is cut remove him.
Of coarse the whole thing is absurd and nobody was assaulted.
Acosta is the left's alex Jones and doesnt deserve to be in there. Cnn can just put someone else in there who isnt trying out for Broadway.
