</font></div><div>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is coming under fire for sharing an apparently doctored video of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s interaction with a White House intern at Wednesday’s press conference. The video was originally shared by an account linked to InfoWars, a far-right conspiracy website, and appears to speed up the moment of contact between Acosta and an intern while she tried to take his mic away, making it seem like he was aggressively pushing down on her arm. The Washington Post published a side-by-side Thursday, showing the original footage and the apparently edited video. The White House banned Acosta Wednesday—ostensibly because of the interaction—hours after he clashed with President Trump at the press conference, demanding answers on the migrant caravan.</div></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><strong>4) Jason Mattera’s Punking of Grayson and Franken:</strong> Jason Mattera, who later became editor of Human Events, was employed to run a couple of <em>“ambush”</em> interviews that were posted on Breitbart’s web site. One interview <a href="http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1599" target="blank">targeted Rep. Alan Grayson</a> and castigated him for his support of bill that funded a program to prevent child abuse. The other interview was <a href="http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1606" target="blank">directed at Sen Al Franken</a> who was attacked for supporting student health and school safety. In both cases Mattera twisted the purpose of the legislation into something unrecognizable and patently false. Expect more of this because, as Breitbart says in his book, <a href="http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=4460" target="_blank">Righteous Indignation</a>, <em>“Ambush journalism is the most valuable kind of journalism.”</em></font>

<h2><span class="mw-headline"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Colleague of James O'Keefe</font></span></h2>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Lila Rose is a colleague of conservative activist <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=James_O%27Keefe" title="James O'Keefe">James O'Keefe</a>. As a UCLA freshman in autumn of 2006, she and O'Keefe came up with the idea of infiltrating clinics. Rose and O'Keefe, both told the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> that they were inspired by the work of Mark Crutcher, a Texas antiabortion activist who in 2002 taped fake calls to hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics around the country featuring women posing as pregnant minors.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Lila_Rose#cite_note-3" title="">[4]</a></sup></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2006 Rose has carried out undercover "sting" visits at Planned Parenthood clinics in Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Tucson, Phoenix and Memphis. She makes hidden camera videos as she and a friend pose as abortion-seeking young teens who have been impregnated by older men. Rose's videos are then edited down to about boiled five minutes, and are enhanced with portentous music and fast cuts to heighten the drama. Rose them posts the videos on her website, LiveAction.org, and on YouTube.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Lila_Rose#cite_note-4" title="">[5]</a></sup></font>

Yet the filmmaker's email links him to "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=DCI_Group" title="reference on DCI Group" target="self">DCI Group</a>, a Washington, D.C., public relations and lobbying firm whose clients include oil company <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Exxon_Mobil" title="reference on Exxon Mobil" target="self">Exxon Mobil</a>," reports the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>. Ads promoting the penguin video appeared to people searching for "Al Gore" or "Global Warming" on the Google search engine, but these ads "were removed shortly after <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> contacted DCI." DCI's <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Tech_Central_Station" title="reference on Tech Central Station" target="self">Tech Central Station</a> website has also "sought to raise doubts about the science of global warming and about Mr. Gore's film." The firm "declines to say whether or not DCI made the anti-Gore penguin video," but an Exxon spokesperson said they "did not fund" and "did not approve it." What is certain is that "political operatives, public relations experts and ad agencies" are increasingly using video-sharing websites like YouTube to shape public opinion. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ogilvy%26_Mather" title="reference on Ogilvy & Mather" target="self">Ogilvy & Mather</a> "plans to post amateur-looking videos on Web sites to spare word-of-mouth buzz about Foster's beer," and AT&T has used YouTube to post videos against <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=net_neutrality" title="reference on net neutrality" target="_self">net neutrality</a>.</font>
