“The approach Mr. O’Keefe and Ms. Giles used—lying to prospective sources or subjects—is grossly unethical by the standards of institutional journalism”

Has undercover reporting never been done before? I think it has.

Is using taxpayer money to support pimps and prostitutes illegal? Yes. Is lying to criminals illegal? No.

I think this is a false point.

On the other hand, lying to the audience in support of the liberal agenda is perfectly justifiable by the standards of institutional journalism.

There is no longer any reason to take these people seriously -- except with regard to the damage they do.
