James O’Keefe just took down the entire establishment media—again. According to Andrew Breitbart, O’Keefe was arrested and then jailed for at least 28 hours without yet having seen a lawyer. In that time frame details of O’Keefe’s arrest were leaked to the press by the prosecutors office, and the entirety of Journalism crankedout a narrative to destroy James O’Keefe before sunrise the next day.
Crank is so appropriate.
They cranked out reams of text about how the guy who bagged ACORN had been busted trying to wiretap a Senators office. They called it Watergate Jr, exercising their significant media presence to smear the young man from blog to broadsheet. They even imagined a money trail. But wait?
According to Big Journalism.com
There are no allegations of any wiretap plot in the FBI affidavit, and a law enforcement official has conceded that the four men were not attempting to wiretap or intercept calls.
Furthermore, legal representation for the accused has gone on record stating there were no intentions to tap phones in the Senator’s office.
It’s worth noting, and again courtesy of Andrew Breitbart, that the crotch bomber who was tackled and stripped in a plane while on fire for trying to kill a few hundred people, had a lawyer appointed to him within a few hours of landing. James O’Keefe had a lawyer, he was just not permitted to speak to him for more than a day.
In the case of ACORN, despite video evidence, and the outright lies of ACORN officials, (which they did print) the media otherwise ignored that story for weeks until it overcame them, and even then, they covered it with reluctance and always at a distance. O’Keefe was vilified in the press within hours of his arrest and accused by so-called “journalists” of things he was never charged with nor committed.
Such is the nature of the unbiased press in Amerika. And Mr. O’Keefe was right to trust what they would do.
James O’Keefe should get an award. If not for exposing one massive fraud, ACORN, then perhaps for exposing dozens or perhaps hundreds (thousands) more disguised as defenders of freedom and justice; they are neither. They are the media arm of the left wing. TAnd they have been watching Mr. O’Keefe all along, pretending disinterest when it made their side look bad. Acting indifferent until they thought they had an opportunity to destroy him. And he made them all look like what they are. Left wing propagandist whores.
Retractions are forthcoming in abundance.
