I watched the side by side comparison of the three videos about thirty times before I read any of the text.
Why is it being framed as Acosta doing a chop rather than the woman in the video trying to punch Acosta. All three of the videos, to me, look like the woman going for a throat punch and Acosta's movements reactionary.
I can't tell who has the whacky bias here. Is it me?
Edit: rather than change my comment after I've posted it, I mean to write that both of the reduced frame rate videos appear as though the woman is going for the throat. The original video just looks nothing like that.
- komali2 8y agoWhy is an intern being sent to physically take away a microphone from a journalist? Do they not have an a/v team?
- DonaldPShimoda 8y ago> look like the woman going for a throat punch I mean... no, I can't see this at all. In every instance, it's totally obvious she's reaching for the mic. I agree that she clearly instigated whatever contact is there, and his movements do seem totally reactionary, but portraying her movement as an attempt at a "throat punch" is kind of ridiculous.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoYes, I agree. I just mean to say why is it being framed one way when it can, in my opinion, just as easily be misinterpreted the other way. My first comment definitely overstates my opinion.
- DonaldPShimoda 8y agoOhh I see what you mean! Yes, it's just as easy to say she went for a throat punch as it is to say he karate chopped her arm. I totally get what you meant now. Sorry for not understanding. :)
- guilhas 8y agoYoure comment is completely ridiculous. Even without the full video there was a context to the story.
