PoiDoggy, you omitted key portions of the Fox News report about what occurred before Gianforte grabbing Jacobs.  It says that during an interview Gianforte was having with another person, “….another man — who we now know is Ben Jacobs of The Guardian — walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte's face and began asking if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.”  Jacobs persisted with his questioning with a recorder shoved up in front of Gianforte’s face. He became the aggressor when he entered the room without being invited.  At what point do you say enough is enough?  Jacobs got what he deserved.
