I'd love to see a Mario Kart 64 redressing of the video, as well. (Trump is obviously Bowser.)

There's also a difference between simple assault and aggravated assault, as well as between battery and assault, in general. I also would quibble with the notion that 'physical prompting' might be the only variety of prompting to draw a forceful response.
More on that in a bit.

Dude, am I smelling a "bitch had it coming" in the near future?
I've never said we were innocent nor do I believe that we caused extremism. The teachings do that for themselves.

I'm well aware, which is why I used the term I did.
I'd quibble that, quite often, even "physical prompting" is not sufficient cause to draw a forceful response, depending on the context. So a question from a reporter, even if it's badgering, is leagues away from the threshold I consider necessary to merit a physical, forceful response such as that exercised by Gianforte.
I was actually just kind of musing on how the 'attack' was initially spun, not making any kind of personal characterization.
That being said, if you want to talk about professionalism, the reporter was first denied comment and then referred to a spokesperson. At that point, he should have put down his recorder and stepped aside. There was no scrum - and the question was not so indisputably newsworthy that it required cornering and repeatedly badgering Gianforte. There is no defending what the (now) Congressman did in response, which, make no bones about it, was a gross overreaction, but let's not pretend that the reporter's behavior was entirely above board either.

Seriously? You're talking about a matter scant seconds between being referred to the aide and the reporter being attacked (and punched while on the ground, according to the eyewitnesses). You are reaching so hard here that it hurts.
He came into the office without permission, which apparently wasn't the first time the Guardian tried the same tactic.
I'd call that persistence.
But you know, facts ... **** em. Let's go with the drama.

Majority if Americans basically think the same thing. No way to trust the news media is giving real unbiased information.

When Gallup first asked Americans about their trust of newspapers in 1973, 39 percent said they had a great deal of trust in them and by 1979, that number reached a high of 51 percent. In 2000, trust was at 37 percent, but by 2005, in the midst of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and following revelations that Saddam Hussein had had no weapons of mass destruction, trust was at 28 percent. The numbers have mostly slid since then, and in 2016, only 20 percent of Americans said they trust newspapers. Trust in television news has charted much the same course, and it fares only slightly better in 2016, with 21 percent trust.
