      What was Greta thinking? To make such a ludicrous statement about ambush journalism when her own network practices it as a matter of routine.

      She's lost the plot, as they say.

        Does she engage in it herself?

          No, she gave up journalism several years ago when she could make more money as a pundit.

          Does she condemn her own network for engaging in it? Publicly?

        At a guess, she knows that those who hate FOX condemn them for these ambushes and thought it would be interesting to point out that it's done by both sides.

        Also, FOX always says that they had attempted to set up an interview first and had been rebuffed. It may be that this reporter did not attempt to set up an interview with Todd.

        But these are just guesses. If I missed something that answers these conjectures I'm all ears.

      It's those double-standards that's making Faux News more and more irrelevant.

      Todd Palin was at a Public event with other media figures...it's not the stalked him for 2 hours and ambushed him while on vacation with his significant other....oh yeah that was FOX NEWS!

      Private property(weighs on scale) or public event(does the same)...I think going to someones house and almost tring to get in their car it worse.

      About that night I'm still waiting for Rush to comment on Wanda. She's triple an attraction for him to bash.

      i usually like greta, but shes stepping in really deep mud on this one. her network is the essence of ambush journalism. have these people ever heard of using a phone or email? you may not get the reply you want that way, but at least your not stalking someone just to get some information from them. talk about desperate.

      I loved how Olbermann used multiple clips of the several ambushes done by stalker producers of the FoxNoise Channel...

      And Greta can look into the camera and deride it from others...

      Hey Greta... if your so damn upset over ambush 'interviews'... why not place a phone call to BillO and tell him how angry you are about that kind of stuff... or are you just a typical conservative hypocrite?

      If you look up the word "Hypocrite" in Websters, there's a photo of Jabba The Hutt (a/k/a Roger Ailes) in there.
