The last time I watched the news, it was mostly Youtube videos.

his record since then hasn't been as great, of course, but, yeah, I really hate that anybody pays serious attention to his stings and anybody else who use his "techniques" to try to take down helping organizations that they don't like. It infuriates me that CMP was able to get everybody so riled up over their recent anti-PP "sting" and got some members of Congress to actually agree to vote to defund PP and for several governors to terminate their Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood. My Democratic Senator, Joe Donnelly (D-IN) even went along with the outrage. What happened with ACORN was also a huge black stain on, what was at the time, a Democratic Congress.

It just seems that once somebody like him gets a notch in his belt and draws blood, it's hard for the MSM not to pay attention to him, especially since it gives the MSM another chance to prove that they're not "liberal". It's sick and frustrating but it seems to be what they do. *sigh*

They couldn't afford not to be there, on the off chance he had something of substance.
