as presented the point is to mock trump, right?
Would there be something wrong with that if it was? Since the advent of print journalism unflattering imagery has been used as a form of satire usually accompanying articles criticizing public figures, was that bullying?
done by the media that fits the classic definition of bullying.however, maybe it's become acceptable as the public's perception of what's acceptable for the media to publish has been skewed for so long that they are no longer accountable as they used to be.
I disagree. As I've repeated several times, I do not agree that posting pictures of a public figure that they deem to be unflattering, is bullying. If we don't agree on this simple premise, there is no need to continue the conversation.
if the intent is to ridicule their target then no - they shouldn't publish it.
So, if the media sources intention is to Mock, deride, scoff at, jeer, sneer, tease, taunt or satirize (cough Ridicule by definition) a public figure, it's bullying and they should not publish that sort of material?
plus as had been pointed out, the photo in question was purportedly photoshopped to make it look even more unflattering.
I thought we were talking about images in the media, now we're talking about the image that Chup posted again?
look at all the other times he has mocked people for stumbling/faltering in their speech - he's used the same gestures.
I watched a clip on youtube that tried to make this claim, maybe it's the one you're citing, I don't know. I didn't find the two other times that Trump mocked people in a similar, not identical, fashion, to be compelling enough evidence to believe that he was not mocking the reporters disability, which based on his past behavior of readily attacking any critic's appearance, seems reasonable to me.
it depends, do you mock everyone in that same manner when mocking their speech?
what's not been considered much here is the reporter himself - does he act in the manner trump is accused of mocking him in? nope. the reporter stands, walks and talks just like the rest of us, the difference being his hand is seized into a clawed position.
Bit of a reaching claim no? Does Trump mock everyone in the same manner? What evidence are you basing this on? Because, in my admittedly limited searching, the only evidence I've seen to support this is a youtube video where he mocks people in a similar (not identical) manner… twice. Maybe you've got a different source though.
i didn't see coilair as calling chup out, but making the claim of bullying against the paper or media outlet that printed the photo. in that light,
Out of curiosity where in his two posts did he 'make a claim of bullying against a paper or media outlet'? Just trying to figure out how you arrived at this interpretation.
