Entrapment n. In criminal law, the act of law enforcement officers or government agents inducing or encouraging a person to commit a crime when the potential criminal expresses a desire not to go ahead. The key to entrapment is whether the idea for the commission or encouragement of the criminal act originated with the police or government agents instead of with the "criminal.
It's turning into quite the morning for NBCers to defend the left on Morning Joe . . .
First, Chuck Todd flatly rejected the notion that the MSM failed to adequately report on Van Jones, suggesting coverage would have been a waste of time. Later, Norah O'Donnell came on and suggested that the video of the ACORN employees giving advice on how to evade the tax laws in setting up a brothel with young illegal aliens "might be viewed as entrapment."

The msm = Deaf, dumb and blind by choice!
Maybe we should ack Michael Moore. His fortune is built upon making “entrapment” videos. And that was just fine with the Left.
Get a conscience Nora. And a journalism degree while you’re at it.
Wow - she’s dumb as bricks. Entrapment?
BWAHAHAHAHA! Isn’t that what she does for a living?
OOPS!
True, Norah O’Donnell has no defense, but why is she “enabling” or “allowing ACORN” to get away with something as despicable as human trafficking???
What do they call sting operations in law enforcement? Like when they dress policewomen as prostitutes, or policemen as johns. What’s the difference?
No one can take anything that comes from NBC or their affiliates seriousely - they’re in the tank for Obama. Big money is at stake. Jeff Immelt has crawled up into this administration where the sun don’t shine. Kind of like a tick.
There you go. Exacly. Her OWN network!
Nora, hon, you need to go powder that empty forehead of yours and put more lipstick on your lying lips.
I think the rules should still apply, unless you prefer to substitute with a Hannah Giles rule.
Oh no he did NOT wear that fur coat in there. Did he?
That being said, I'll point out 2 things about Ms. Fleiss:
1. Heidi Fleiss made a lot less money than Norah O'Donnell
2. Norah would be OK with someone selling a 13-year-old girl for sex (as long as they were a Democrat), but I'm pretty sure Heidi Fleiss wouldn't.
Yep, apparently the Democrats in the media are A-OK with sex-slaving minor children:

Good old Dave kind of forgets to mention the ol' child sex slavery thingee, and he points the reader to two GREAT Baltimore Dun articles "explaining" the whole thing for us. Strangely, THOSE two articles ALSO forget to mention the ol' child sex slavery thingee, and tap-dance mightily around the "unpleasant" issue.
ACORN-Gotcha Activist Hannah Giles Admits She Had An Anti-ACORN Agenda Before She Knew Anything About Them
Intrepid correspondent "Ellen" slams the "dumb bimbo" Hannah Giles, but forgets to mention the ol' child sex slavery thingee. Guess "Ellen" is OK! with selling little girls for sex!
I think "Ellen" huffs spray paint out of paper sacks, myself - at least that would explain her brain-damaged style of attack...
