Tripp wasn’t conducting a news sting, she was keeping memoirs for what many believe was her hopes of swinging a book deal. We have a different situation here. If Keefe published a blog, why shouldn’t that count as news. I believe the question has come up before in a different context, whether blog keepers count as media.

I hope you are right. You make a lot of sense.

If we can find one MSM investigation in Baltimore undercover, you may have something. Even PETA undercover videos. Or maybe they are trying to scare them.

What I thought was strange was this was not a phone conversation taped.It was a video. I thought maybe I did not know the specifics of the law. Think about people on the street with a video camera? A tourist?

I swear Holder and obama are in on this. Obama loses ACORN he will not be elected thru voter fraud he plans on.

Chris at HAP does a lot of legwork on Jessamy — and finds a partisan Democrat who has invested both time and money in supporting Barack Obama:

Actually, she was protecting her job and her life. The "book deal" swill was made up by Democrat media.
