Last night, after the alleged body slam by Montana Rep. candidate Greg Gianforte, Alicia Acuna of Fox News was out tweeting about how she witnessed the body slam and that Gianforte put his hands around Ben Jacob’s neck. The left wing media loved it and spread it everyone on their newscasters and published it in their papers. Acuna wrote this last night:

“At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him,” she wrote, “Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, ‘I’m sick and tired of this!’”
In typical liberal media hack fashion today, the story changed from Alicia Acuna in an interview with Laura Ingraham:
“One of you guys said last night that he put his hands around his neck,” Ingraham said. “Which, as somebody who’s done a lot of taekwondo and self-defense, to me that seemed, that might not be exactly right.”
“You know, and I’m the one who said that,” Acuna replied, “I saw both his hands go up, not around his neck in a strangling type of way, but more just on each side of his neck, just grabbed him and I guess it could’ve been on his clothes, I don’t know.”
Ingraham asked Acuna if that meant she was changing her story.
“Again, just to clarify, he didn’t grab him by the neck with both hands in the way that was initially described, that’s not quite accurate,” Ingraham asked at the end of the interview.
“No, so it wasn’t like he grabbed him around the neck, he had one hand on each side of his neck,” Acuna confirmed.
What this proves is that even the media hacks at Fox News, like Alicia Acuna jump to conclusions before they know the facts. They see things that never actually happened. It doesn’t matter now, the story is all over the place and wouldn’t be corrected. But Alicia Acuna last night became a star among the left wing media hack club. She’ll be invited to all the Manhattan and DC cocktail parties now. Acuna knows where her bread is buttered.
