I enjoyed James O’Keefe’s undercover reports on ACORN’s willingness (in its offices coast to coast) to assist a pimp and his chippy in acquiring a business location. But, despite the 60 Minutes example, undercover reporting can quickly lead to problems that undermine the pursuit of truth.
Thus, despite big media’s retractions of late on details of O’Keefe’s investigation of a Louisiana senator, the fact remains that he dressed up as a telephone repairman. As Ed Morrisey says, he apparently didn’t need to do that if he wasn’t planning to break the law. It logically led to suspicion that was what he was about and his arrest.
