I don’t know anything about this particular case. And, even if it is a Fox reporter, I’d like to say something.
Reporters, those that call themselves ‘journalists’ and all the other self-proclaimed ‘keepers of the public trust’ often think their press card or badge entitles them to preference, priority, or special consideration above others.
I recently watched a TV promo here in Atlanta area (while waiting out the snowmageddon II) and keep seeing some doofus on TV station staff who is one of those “Consumer Advocates”.
In the promo, he’s investigating odometer rollback crime. In the spot, he’s got a used car dealer corner who ends up saying, “I get as-is, and I sell as-is.” The next thing, this “advocate” says, “I want to see the odometer reading from 5 cars on this lot.”
It was a demand, an order. I just sat there thinking what I’d tell him. “Who the f@ck do you think you are? Show me a subpoena, a court order or introduce me to a cop. Either that or get the f@ck off my lot.”
The truth is these ‘journalists’ think the 1st amendment accords them power over others - even to the extent they can negate others’ rights to the very same amendment.
As far as I’m concerned, they aren’t my representative - they never were. They abdicated that luxury when they became ideologues and politickers.
The only decent reporter/journalist in Detroit is Charlie LeDuff. He’s very aggressive but knows where to draw a line.
A few months back he did an editorial piece calling on his fellow reporters to get the hell off the victim’s lawn. If they want to ask questions they should ask the accused (former city council president Charles Pugh who appears to have a thing for young boys)
