An excellent idea, who's time has come.

This looks like a leftist enterprise to me. Check it over. See what you think.

but noted the potential for problems with AmbushTV, such as doctored video.

Because of course the MSM never plays fast and loose with the facts or anything like that.

They don't seem to have any content yet. FReepers should try and get them some. I saw a minuteman guy on O'Reilly talking about having video and taped audio conversations of an ACLU rep and Arizona State rep assisting some queue jumpers avoid the border patrol. Surely there must be some Minutemen here - perhaps they could follow up.

I wish I had a copy of that video of Hillary Clinton saying that if the allegations against her husband by Monika Lewinsky were proven true, that it would be very serious.

It seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

I'm sorry but the idea of neophyte vidcam "reporters" trying to invade the privacy of anyone is just wrong.

There are "professional" reporters who already do this for money and sometimes endanger their prey and the public while trying to get that million dollar video.

Brent Cunningham, managing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review, said he doesn’t have a problem with the idea of citizen journalism, but noted the potential for problems with AmbushTV, such as doctored video.

You're talking out of the side of your mouth, Brent: you are a laughable human being.  

Assuming the potential for doctored video - could amateurs pull off the shear volume and magnitude of doctored stories that the professionals have been pulling off lately?

No.  But then again, I guess that's what makes them "professionals".
