"I make no bones about coming from an ideological and partisan point of view. But at least I'm honest about it."

There is no problem with being ideological and partisan. The problem comes when those characteristics overwhelm honesty.

As an example, if O'Keefe and Giles recorded some Acorn people who, in fact, reacted the way we would hope they would have, and withheld that material, that would be dishonest, and to me would taint their reportage.

Not saying they did, but if there are exonerating videos of honest Acorn folks, and they haven't been shown, I would be disappointed.

Videos of those who do not commit crimes doesn't exonerate those who do and are not news anyways.

One plant which processes peanuts is criminally negligent. Should TV show video of the plants which are not?

It should be assumed that there are ACORN offices which would not encourage illegality.

Exonerating videos??? So the behavior of the Acorn employees seen on tape could be exhonerated by the mere existence of Acorn colleagues who weren't hip to child prostitution and actually chose to follow the law at that point in time?
