There are varying accounts as to what happened in that Montana melee between GOP candidate Greg Gianforte and GUARDIAN NEWS reporter Brian Jacobs. Some say Gianforte viciously and without provocation body-slammed Jacobs and beat up on him. Others say it was an accident as Gianforte tried to get away from Jacobs' mike. What IS generally agreed upon is that a FOX NEWS team was setting up to interview Gianforte and the team was engaging in idle chitchat with him when Jacobs abruptly entered the room, shoved a mike or cellphone into Gianforte's face and started questioning him about the budget and healthcare. It is agreed that Gianforte asked Jacobs to take the question to his press secretary and that Jacobs fluffed that request off. It is also agreed that Gianforte asked Jacobs to get the mike out of his face and Jacobs refused to comply.
It's what happened after that that has liberals across the country screaming foul. Regardless of how it came about, Jacobs did end up on the floor with his glasses broken. But, as far as I'm concerned, he deserved it.
The damned press and media these days has become rude and arrogant, devoid of all manners and social sensitivity unless, of course, you're a Democrat. I'm surprised it hasn't happened before. It's about time we started fighting back.
