"Groping" vs "Reaching For"

While many in the media are breathlessly reporting that Al Franken was photographed "groping" a sleeping Playboy model, some are reporting that the photograph REALLY depicts:

"Her column detailing the incident was complete with a
photograph of Franken reaching for her breasts while she was
asleep."

 In case you didn't notice, Business Insider characterizes Franken as "reaching for her breasts."  Not "touching," "groping," "grabbing," "rubbing," "massaging," or "pinching."


Just "reaching for."  You know -- like on stage an actor will thrust with a sword and pass it BY the supposed victim. Yes, just an act. He's not REALLY stabbing that guy. He's just acting.
