Conway: Doctored Acosta video is OK because they do it all the time in sports



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/kellyanne-conway-incoherently-defends-doctored-video-cnns-jim-acosta-time-sports/

“What do you mean by edited or — as others are saying — ‘doctored’ video?” Conway replied. “He put his hands on her and grabbed the mic back or he did not — and he clearly did.”

“No!” Wallace interrupted. “He clearly did [keep the mic] but the video was altered and there are experts who have looked at it to make it look speeded up.”

“But that’s not altered,” Conway sighed. “That’s sped up. They do it all the time in sports to see if there’s actually a first down or a touchdown. So I have to disagree with the, I think, overwrought description of this video being doctored as if we put somebody else’s arm in there.”

“He should have apologized to that young aide,” Conway said of Acosta. “You have to show respect to the White House, to the presidency, the president. And I think what Acosta did was very unfair to the rest of the press corps.”

They don't speed the footage up in sports, they slow it down so you can see what happened. CrispyQ Nov 2018 #2

(granted, Wallace is on the barely barely barely barely barely not as bad side, but still).
