[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article says he had media credentials to cover Gillespie.[/quote]

The article is covering its own reporter. I don't trust its reporting.

I'm a real journalist. This isn't how journalists behave. They also don't wear jeans and a hoodie and film with an iPhone and claim to be credentialed press.

The charges were disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The video evidence clearly shows those charges are valid.

BTW, I vote blue. This kind of behavior muddies the water for both journalists AND Democrats. [/quote]

Adding that Mr Leshan of WUSA - who's been a reporter for them for 22 years - used his I-Phone to camera to record a portion of our interview.

Asking again: are you Eilperin? If so, you do some good work, but you really need to climb down off that high-horse you've been on since the dawn of digital journalism. We're working the same phones you work, developing sources the same way you do, and often (but not always) producing better product than you are. And our agendas, worn on our sleeve for the sake of integrity, allow us to do work you cannot do. The Post (and most ostensibly "down the middle" organizations) would never report on my three questions. Why? Because there aren't sufficiently damning questions to ask Northam, the "other side".

And so far as what I was wearing on a Saturday morning for a piece that I wasn't going to be shown in? Really? You should see what Chris Cillizza wears when he's not in front of the camera.

Finally - I would think that a fundamental attribute of any journalist would be to know what the hell you are talking about before setting the type. You clearly don't know anything about the law because my attorney has been very clear with me: neither of those charges will stand and when this is finished, I will be convicted of nothing.

But that's exactly the type of lofty BS statement I'd expect from a "journalist" that spends more time at cocktail parties schmoozing with the powerful subjects she writes about than actually holding them accountable for their shortcomings.

You ever heard the term "comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable"? That's what you don't do.

Instead you punch down.

Stop it.

Do better.

We've all got our roles.[/quote]
