Pfizer Director Physically Assaults James O'Keefe & Project Veritas Staff

Again, the staff was eavesdropping. They are a third party. You can try to spin this one as hard as you can. But you won't convince anyone.

He had an expectation of privacy. The trust was violated. I see a lawsuit soon.

A third party is someone who neither of the parties in the conversation know about. She knew she was recording it and she knew she was recording it for O'Keefe. A lawsuit would fail miserably.

The "director" did not know about the third party. That makes it an eavesdropping case.

She and the dork are sitting at a table. She is recording him. She knows she's recording him. She knows that O'Keefe is watching the recording. That doesn't make O'Keefe a third party.

Now, if she were doing the recording, and O'Keefe was separately recording the two and neither knew about O'Keefe doing that, then you'd have an eavesdropping case.

We're talking past each other. What O'Keefe did was legal, but I'd call it ambush journalism rather than eavesdropping.

Legal but unethical seems to be very common today. Sad.

What happened to traditional values? We've gone from Hillary to Pedo Don to George Santos. IMO, that's bad.

Okeefe is not a journalist. He goes to places with the specific intent to find something he can use to back this preconceived narrative. He learns nothing. He just tries to back far-right craziness.He gets film and edits it dishonestly to say what he wants.

Heh. Now it's "ambush". You're losing your touch with your trolling.

From the 'Reader's Digest' version site:

Ambush journalism
Ambush journalism refers to aggressive tactics practiced by journalists to suddenly confront and question people who otherwise do not wish to speak to a journalist, in places such as homes, vacation spots, hallways, and parking lots. Investigative reporter Steve Weinberg of the Missouri School of Journalism describes "ambush interview" as a loaded shorthand term describing the practice of reporters "catching source unaware, usually in a public place, then acting rudely."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_genres

The tactic used by a news reporter who intercepts an uncooperative person in an unexpected place, such as a sidewalk or parking lot, in order to put questions to that individual and elicit spur-of-the-moment responses.

It is an actual term used to describe a particular style of journalist approach to a story.

I'm sure his masters at Pfizer will verbally before firing him, or they may take the Hildabeast approach and he'll suddenly commit suicide with a gunshot to the back of the head...

He is a journalist. His style is called ambush journalism, and he's hardly the first one to practice it.

Fealty

Dogmatism

Confiscation

Racism

Sexism

Agreed, he should stop exposing corrupt lefties by forcing them to say things that make themselves or the companies they work for look foolish and dishonest. People that are committing crimes should learn to keep their mouths shut so nordy wouldn't have to complain so much.
