Well, the definition of the word “altered” now seems to be up for debate — at least if you work for the Trump administration.
After last week’s testy exchange at the White House between CNN reporter Jim Acosta and President Trump, Kellyanne Conway weighed in Sunday on the controversial video shared by the White House press secretary. Appearing on Fox News, Conway conjured up some alternative facts by saying that the video shared by Sarah Huckabee Sanders (after it had been tweeted out by an InfoWars editor) wasn’t altered but, rather, like a sports highlight: “Oh, well that’s not altered.

Trump’s fiery exchange with CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta has led to the reporter’s press credentials being revoked.
On Wednesday evening, Acosta tweeted that he was denied entry to the White House grounds by the Secret Service, after his pass was taken off him.

The Trump administration hasn’t been on the best of terms with the media lately, to put it lightly.
On Thursday, CNN’s Jim Acosta walked out of a White House press briefing after Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to confirm that the press corps is not the “enemy of the people,” as Trump has repeatedly called them in the past.
“…You read off a laundry list of your concerns about the press and things you feel like are misreported,” Acosta told Sanders. “You did not say that you feel like the press is not the enemy of the people.
