Daily Agitator
Or is it?
Recently a noted conservative investigative film maker (his definition not mine) did a hidden camera piece with the guy from NPR and of course this guy babbled on and on about the evils of the Tea Party and funds for NPR to the point that it became big news….this was the same little dude that helped bring down ACORN, you know that truly radical group that helped the poor…..but anyway, the Left has been condemning this guy for the work that he did saying that it was “yellow journalism” and of course the radical Right has defended him saying he was doing undercover investigative reporting……
What do you think?
But before you answer this….how about the blogger that made the call to Gov. Walker during the protests pretending to be one of the Koch Brothers, who BTW have a vested interest in the success of the TP….anyway the Governor was offered a trip and said that he would use plants in the crowd and that it was all about a lot of things but NOT about the deficit…..the blogger was condemned as a coward and a crank for the phone interview by those on the Right……
But if the blogger was wrong in using trickery to get the interview…how is that different from the wannabe investigative film maker? If one is yellow journalism, why is not the other?
What do you think?
Is not it a little sad that the only way we can hear the truth is through trickery? No matter if you want to lean Left or Right the truth should always be paramount when dealing with the public…….I cannot believe that the American people are still as stupid about their politicians as ever…with all the scandals, lies and misinformation……something never change and the people never remember…Like I said….STUPID!
My grandfather always said, “the best thing to do with a retired politician is to flush him down the toilet with the rest of the Sh*t”…….
In the shower this morning I was thinking we should boycott NPR news until the organization admits Schiller was right and that the Tea Party members are racist.
Works for me……most intelligent people already see the TP for what it is…a shill for corporations…..and then the rest of America still does not have a clkue at what is happening in this country…..actually could not get more sad than that….IMO….
BTW, I do some amazing thinking in the shower or over a cup of joe…….
All anyone says behind closed doors is what we already know they are thinking. now we have proof. idiots on the left and right are still idiots. im sad about the whole NPR thing, as i am a supporter of public radio mississippi.
I do think the right might want to play down the investigative journalism. If they start a war with the left on undercover interviews, they will look alot worse than they did with the koch bros scandal. Everyone i work with are die hard conservative republicans, the things they say would ruin careers if said to the wrong person with a tape recorder.
Phillip, they do not have to go undercover….morons will post it on youtube……in essence shoot themselves in their own foot…..
