In light of recent investigative reports from the Daily Caller that reveal close coordination between Media Matters for America and the White House, BigJournalism and BigGovernment have undertaken the task of revisiting some of our prior reporting on the media watchdog group and our list of its donors. We thought...

When are we going to start signing people up to help O'Keefe?
Jorge' Snuffelufagus is hardly a journalist, I never liked his sliminess under Bubba and I like it even less now.
We need to insist that news outlets remove politicians from "journalism" positions in the media!
Opinions are one thing but allowing politicians to play "journalist" is quite another and we should all speak loudly again the advent of "official" news.
I told you I told you I told you……You see to the left " an activist" is only real when it comes from the left……ABC is challenging someones journalism …what a joke…ABC MSNBC and CBS are not news they are reality shows…and Snufalumpolis is a joke….Why even give these jerks the time of day…I could handle 20 secs of this video before I chunked my breakfast …
I usually have GMA on as I leave in the morning.
The usual greeting for these clowns is:
"Good Morning, Liberals…"
On a morning where they piss me off with some piece of crap story:
"Good Morning, Losers…"
The alphabet channels are joke.
People here are going to think I'm an anti-O'Keefe troll — but I'm not. I really think this is just setting your sights too low. Look, these training supervises make the determination for what your workday will be. They have the authority to end a class early and still allow the workers to get paid for a full day. This is just no big deal. If our ONLY budget problem was federal workers getting paid for time they did not actually work — I assure you we would have ZERO national debt — instead of about 80 trillion ( more than the entire U.S.A. is worth ).
I hope in the future Mr. O'Keefe nails some more of the big dogs of corruption like he did with ACORN, but I just can't get too far up in the air about this. Set your sights higher James.
James and Andrew…way to stay on point. I can't believe (but perhaps I should) how many times Snufalumpolis tried to drag the conversation back to "…but you committed a crime" topic. WTF does he think ACORN was doing? What does he think padding a time sheet is? What does he think (fill in the blank) is? They are CRIMES that don't see the light of day under Snufalumpolis's brand of journalism. Rather than admit that the MSM missed the whole ACORN news and jump on the fact that a similar news event is unfolding around this CENSUS item, all he did was try to get you to 'admit' you had committed a crime (OMG…a misdemeanor!!!) on TV. That misdemeanor is a freaking Badge of Honor…wear it proudly…and keep up the great work James!!!
Does anyone think that this is only happening at census offices? This same thing happens in all departments and all level of government. We all who have dealt with government, local, state and federal, could list stories one after another of this same type of thing happening. So,they pass a health care law and tell us that THEY will root out waste and fraud. Yeah, right. Who will? These same mid level managers? Politically appointed upper level people?
If you are tired of being lied to, kick them out in November, but it doesn't stop there. Take a meat cleaver (metaphorically of course) to the bureaucracy next or nothing will change.
Stephanopoulos was soooooo proud of himself to be the only lonely drive-by to ask the POTUS about ACORN.
WhoopDee-DO. What do want a metal?
Thank you George ( Remember me in the Clinton War Room? I'm not an activist!) Step On All Of Us. You clearly illustrate exactly why James and Andrew are not only relevant and legitimate. But necessary warriors in the fight to repair the untold damage you and your fellow "journalists" have done to this country.
I agree that this is small potatoes but everyone I've talked to who is working for the Census reports the same thing. The Census is being very generous with their hours. I worked for the 1990 Census. While we were not efficient by private sector standards we were MUCH more efficient than the current count.
No government department will ever be efficient. They don't have to make a profit so they're not correctly motivated. I just wish they'd not waste too much money.
In addition Missy, we have to continue to vote with our feet. The only time I watch the alphabet channels is when sports events are on. People need to ignore them.
I would guess based on what they've done previously that there will be more to it. They would likely get much more ammo by actually working for them for a few weeks. Some of the stories that have come out from Census workers are pretty appauling.
You're right though, this won't do much damage itself at all. Let's see if there's more to it.
That idiot is so hung up on making Mr. O'Keefe look like the criminal instead of looking at what he was trying to expose- criminals. Blasted leftist.
Yes, it would be nice if they were more efficient with our money. But I don't begrudge these worker getting paid a full day while they are in training — even if the class ended a couple of hours early — even everyday.
We didn't get an 80 trillion dollar national debt because of little things like this.
George is definitely a tool, and James and Andrew handled themselves very well. George sure was trying to make James look as bad as he could, while understating what he's done, but he didn't quite pull it off. Nice job James and Andrew.
Oh yeah, just one more thing — Stephanopoulos is a twit.
The waste of space network anchors and hosts sure are livid that anyone would dare practice real journalism and make them look bad. Poor George doesn't like looking like an overpaid, low skilled hack.
Stephenopolis is such an apologist. He couldn't end that interview fast enough. I truly appreciate James O'Keefe an his fellow citizen journalists efforts, and their sacrifices, taking on the vile attacks of the corrupt to inform and inspire us.
Wow George, I know you're not a *real* journalist, but the question shouldn't be a statement, "Well, this was only in two offices." It should be, "Well, this was in two offices, do you have evidence that this is going on in other census training centers around the nation?"
Also, if Jerry Brown doesn't know when criminal activity is going on (e.g. the Acorn debacle) then we certainly don't want him sitting anywhere near the governor's bathroom again.
Yeah, What a wuss he is by not having the stones to say…… walk into a Senators office and try to expose the going's on there and by ummmmmm…… wait…. I think he did that!
Did you forget?
And if my eyes didn't just deceive me, I think any thinking person can see he just made GMA look incredibly biased by Stephy's little “objective” interview.
What would you like James to do next? Walk into Holders office with his hidden camera and just start hanging out.?
Although given how things work at the WH, he probably could have crashed the last state dinner by posing as one of Beyonce’s road crew.
And oh yeah, when do we get to see your video's?
I don't think you are a troll, but dude…………
And yeah! This is exactly how you run up a huge national debt. A few bucks at a time.
Show me where to sign! I am serious. this can become a monster to help save the republic.
George S. grilled O'Keefe as an advesary. He went into more research about O'Keefe's past than he did for Obama during the campaign. He pulled out the 'race' card. He pulled out an professor from O'Keefe's past that played into the activism aspect. He challenged O'Keefe on ACORN.
Stephanopolous was trying to get O'Keefe to give a sound bite. Personally, I think James O'Keefe did a great job.
Like a typical lefty, Stephanopoulos never addresses the fundamental corruption uncovered. His only goal is to undermine O'Keefe credibility.
its like pulling on a losse thread,,,sooner or later the fabric dissolves inot a ball of yarn. your suggestion that he aim his sights higher is to run inot the same obfuscation that happened with the Senator. the higher you go the more entrenched the opposition becomes and by the way, the more dangerous.
It's already been mentioned but I will do it again….
Did George Step-on-all-of-us have to begin every question or statement with "You committed a crime…Criminal…You broke the law…"?
Really George? You were so eager to preface and punctuate every exchange with those phrases, I'm surprised you didn't fall off the telephone book that ABC makes you sit on.
Laughter succeeds where lecturing won't. Andrew and James should have laughed at Step-on-all-of-us.

Lex talionis, Jorge?
No it isn't the way you run up a huge national debt. The economic power of the USA would so far overcome small inefficiencies like this — that if our only budget problem was dollars paid for work that was not done by federal workers — if that was our ONLY budget problem — we would have huge surpluses instead of huge debt.
When you have guys like Al Gore that are openly stealing — perhaps as much as a trillion dollars since the early 1980, pushing the global warming scam, and he operates right out in the open — IT'S THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT CAUSE A HUGE NATIONAL DEBT.
You need wrong-headed legislative action to spend the kind of money it takes to cause a national debt. And boy, do we ever have a mountain of that kind of action going on.
I'm not denouncing O'Keefe's work, I did nothing but applaud what he did with ACORN, but DUDE — there are much bigger fish to fry.
And as far as your question — "Where's MY video" — I'm not in that line of work. But I have fought and struggled against the system of corruption that is our government all my adult life. But I'll spare you the details here.
Entirely done as a hit piece,,,,,that failed. As others here have noted, George kept coming back to the 'criminal' aspect of the Landrieu escapade. that was the point he was trying to make,,,purely to discredit anything that the dynamic duo were trying to display.
George,,,you are a worthless POS.
Oh yeah,,,,,I remember how avidly you grilled the president. you are a f#cking lap dog for the left. You also used the phrase 'you broke the law' more than anything else in this "interview"
Boy, George must have run out of softballs from his usual interviews with fellow lefties.
I'm happy to see O'Keefe and Breitbart getting airtime on a national network, but this wasn't so much an interview as a grilling. It's like running the witness through a cross-examination without even going through the motions of asking friendly questions first — and George had clearly done his homework before this segment.
Is it just me or was Stephanopolis getting on to James for being an activist. Like only lefties can do that. I honestly could not get past that point.
Count me in!
Thank you for sparing all of us details. I doubt they would make much sense since nothing you have posted here today has.
What "line of work" do you need to be in to go somewhere and record what you see.
Do you need a special card issued by Stephy?
I am not yet going to stand corrected and decide that you are a troll but, EXACTLY how should JAMES, and this is James we are discussing here, fry bigger fish?
This one thing I know, Okeefe would investigate a Republican if he felt it needed to be done and probably will in the future, I wish he had said so in this interview….thus the reason he is an investigative journalist. I hate the MSM, can't stand Snuffalupagus, but I am glad that Snuffy got to show what an ass he is for his side. Unfortunately those that watch him (12 doz) will not be swayed.
I agree that the paid for less time during the training portion is not such a big deal, since there is the possibility of things dragging the session out. The cost of trying to adjust everyones time for the day probably exceeds the overpaid amount.
What really stands out in this segment is the attempt by Stephi to discredit O'keefe. It's actually pretty funny to see it happening while O'keefe keeps stating that "they will attempt to discredit the messenger", when someone reports things like this.
How about helping Inhofe go after Gore. Now that's a BIG FISH.
How about exposing what the EPA is doing to small farmers in the mid-west?
How about exposing the hypocrisy of Green Peace, Serria Club and so on?
Any of the above has a much larger impact on our budgets and liberties than federal workers getting off early.
There are lots of things he can do, and I'm sure he will.

awesome video….george on the defensive.
It's because of people like George we need people like James.
After O'Keefe and Breitbart were thoroughly discredited for heavily editing their ACORN videotapes to create the appearance of sinister goings-on at ACORN, and after O'Keefe pleased guilty recently to tampering with Sen. Landrieu's phones in her own office, you gullible fools are going to trust this convicted criminal AGAIN?
Barnum was right. No WONDER Nigerians send so many e-mails to our shores.
"……….This one thing I know, Okeefe would investigate a Republican………."
I am not so sure about that Lorben,………….think about it,……………..
investigating a Republican scandal,…………
James would be trampled on by all the CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, …etc,…."investigative reporters"
As you put it Steffy was merely playing to the dwindling wine and cheese crowd.
"Oh dahling,……you were simply fantastic yesterday"
"Yes, I heaviliy edited ACORN video, yes, I tampered with a senator's phones, but THIS time I'm telling the truth! Trust me!" – James O'Keefe
Going after and exposing the US Census and what it has evolved into is by no means,………
"small potatoes"
a few more tapes, each with a similar content, we are talking a potato farm.
Just once I wish when one of OUR guys goes on a MSM program,………….
knowing full well what the agenda is going to be, namely a liberal take,…..
that they would point it out, not for our sake, but for the sake of the MSM gullible followers.
Why wait? Take a week off work, and go do it. Don't wait for someone else to help you.
"This isn’t a political movement. This is a movement to clean up society through transparency and accountability. Corruption, dishonesty, waste, and secrecy are anathema to all Americans. I happen to love liberty but I will happily expose Democrats and Republicans, public and private sector… anyone who deserves it." James O'Keefe.
I am going to take him at his word till proven otherwise Ralph. He may disappoint on this, but he is young and on a mission…I pray his passion keeps him pure for we are watching him too!
Your last sentence sentence gave me a mental picture of a shriveled up old lady telling Steffy how wonderful he was in his interview with O'Keefe and Breitbart…..and Steffy eating it up, not realizing the absurdity of his efforts to make O'keefe out to be a criminal. Him (Steff) having been caught in compromising predicaments himself for Clinton! LOL!
And after that……IDAHO!
It just takes a few. I really don't know where Axion is coming from.
\”…….Your last sentence sentence gave me a mental picture of a

remember \”Madame\”,…???
he wants to see a grand slam every at bat,…… forgeting,……
you gotta load the bases first.

None of this is surprising, First, anything on MSM is bound to be just a bunch of liberals sittin' around talking. If someone other than a kool-aid drinker is a guest, there are usually one of two reasons: 1) The guest is a nominal conservative like David Brooks, to provide a facade of balance on the show. 2) The guest was invited for an attempted shredding, as with O'Keefe.
Personally, if the "machine" is looking to shred him, a la Sarah Palin, that adds to O'Keefe's credibility as far as I'm concerned. The fact that they scrupulously avoid the substance of his findings to go after him personally implies he's on to something. He's trying to expose what they prefer to ignore or cover up, so of course there's little chance he'll receive a fair hearing anywhere on MSM.
Stephonapoulous accusing O'Keefe of being a political guy with an agenda….more head-spinning bizarro world.
You make me laugh!

… and Kenyans sent one too many to our White House.
Obama's more corrupt than the Harding and Grant Adminstrations combined, although to be fair, Harding had the good grace to die in office. Will we be able to say the same about our very own King Barry the Teleprompter?
I know that Andrew Breitbart and James O'keefe want to get the message out, but I'd avoid quicksand and gotcha program hosts like Stephanopoulos, or Katie Couric etc. Because they're not interested in the truth, but only in a few 'gotcha" sound clips to win the Bullshitter of the year "Pulitzer Prize" award!
I wish they would have asked George how what James (and Hannah) did differs from what nbc's Dateline To Catch a Predator, or abc's What Would you do, or when cbs exposed car repair shops jacking up your repair bills, and deceiving customers, or reporters who have gone into mechanic's garages to expose their unfair practices.
All of the stories are set up scenarios, with the intent to catch inappropriate behavior and, when reported on their programs, show edited down segments, highlighting the most salacious dialog, etc.
Aside from To Catch a Predator, no one is arrested, but the behavior definitely warrants further investigation in most situations.
How does this differ from what o'Keefe is doing? I would have liked to hear George answer that.
