I am dismayed by the labelling of this Walker/Koch phone call as being "Punked"
When a "journalist" dresses up like pimp to "expose" ACORN and gather supposed evidence of criminal activity and corruption, no media outlets crowed that ACORN was "punked." It was treated as a serious investigation and the perpetrators were treated as heroes of investigative journalism. At least on some networks.
When a "journalist" poses as a pimp to "expose" Planned Parenthood and gather supposed evidence of criminal activity and corruption no media outlets crowed that Planned Parenthood was "Punked."
Walker was caught. This is the same type of "investigation" but even the Huffington Post is treating the episode like it was an episode of an MTV Ashton Kutcher show, or a morning drive time DJ prank.
Disappointing.
