I don't think 'mainstream television' tries to bait staffers into committing voter fraud, fabricates accusations of underage sexual assault, or dresses up as Bin Laden to make some point about border crossing in Mexico. This "whatabout mainstream media" falls apart as a deflection because the laundry list of things that James O'Keefe has done puts him pretty far into his own camp as being a professional troll.

Investigative journalists are ALWAYS trying to bait their targets. They wouldn't have a job if they didn't!

How is paying a woman to lie about being sexually assaulted as a teenager (and getting paid to abort the following pregnancy) actually investigative journalism?

You do understand that on the other side of the political spectrum there are people (in large quantities) who don't believe that the teenager who is sexually assaulted should be directed towards abortion?

You're rhetorical statement is as ridiculous as someone saying "How is going to baker after baker and trying to find a hard working god fearing Christian baker and forcing him to bake a cake he doesn't wanna bake, investigative journalism?"
