      Chris Wallace Doesn't Count as a Journalist.

      If Mike Wallace had said it i would Stop, Look & Listen.


      Mr. News

      Yes Chris, he is such a character.



      We can only hope that he gets some "hard" time out of this.
      That way he can get an understanding of how "the other half" lives.

        BTW If O'keefe is a "Radical Progressive", what does that make real liberals.


        You know, since Obama is pushing a progressive agenda and all.

        From "Power Player" to "Power Bottom"?

      Based on the number of times O'Keefe is mentioned on this website today, he certainly must be considered the "player of the day" and certain to win an award tonight on Oldermann's Hour of Fun.

        Of course, there is a difference between famous and infamous.

        If you ran out into the street and exposed yourself, you would probably make your local news once more than I ever have. By your logic, this would make you more accomplished than me.

          I'll confess to making the local news one more time than you, but it certainly wasn't for exposing myself. It was for actually contributing to the community. Didn't say what the alleged perp did was famous or infamous, just commenting on the number of mentions he got at MMFA today, being a player doesn't mean accomplished in my book.

        No, he's the dumba** patsy of the day. He was convinced by the idiots on Fox and hate talk radio that breaking the law was okay if you got the story that you wanted to get, even if you had to make it up. This idiot child and his idiot child friends have destroyed their lives with the stupidity which was encouraged by Breitbart, Drudge, Beck, Hannity and the rest of the Fox "news" team.

        I would not be surprised at all if Fox's silence today is based upon advice of counsel. I can guarantee there was a lot of late night meetings with lawyers going on Monday night AND Tuesday night over at the Fox business offices.

      The network also proppe up Carrie prejean as somekinof goddess and a family values icon. Never mind the shots of Bristol Palin and her quest to become famous by repeated reports of her cries for abstinence. Lucky they have Roger Ailes.

      Did they ever release the tapes of the Philly office? I *know* they didn't release some, but since this one was specifically mentioned.... Also-a guy with O'Keefe in one of those clips, looked just like one of his present Co-Horts....

      If Wallace had any remaining credibility, this would drain him of it.

      We'll see the follow up on Wallace's show on the latest of O'Keefe"s shenanigans--not.
      He already passed up that opportunity when O'Keefe's tapes proved to be severely edited, his co worker quit over his ethical working standards and the lawsuits by some of the ACORN offices, but hey Chrisy, hang in there and be the journalist giant you think you are.
      Thanks dad for the job!

      OMG...a conservative who is a "progressive radical"??? Why isn't Beck all over this? It looks like O'Keefe is willing to break the law to get what he wants. Wasn't it Beck who said that the dangerous progressives will do whatever it takes to win and they feel that the ends justify the means?
