During the Cold War it was called Mutual Assured Destruction. Some say it kept the evil empire from starting a nuclear war.

I completely disagree with you on this one, I think it’s fair to use the same tactics on them. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll put a little more thought into these types of behaviors if they know people are actually paying attention to what low lifes they are.

gerryf — you are indeed correct. However, I would argue that journalists like Mike Wallace actually allowed their ‘victims’ to answer the questions when they were ambushed.

Oh, and they didn’t berate their interviewees by saying things like they were ‘far-left hatemongers’ et al.

Thanks for your comment!

Mike Wallace made an entire career out of ambush journalism and so do hundreds of local tv reporters who call themselves “troubleshooters” or “newshawks”

The only difference is what we are seeing now is fundamentally dishonest–O’Reilly’s goon squad is looking to take out people Bill agrees with, and resorts to ambush journalism first.
