Want some controversy? The issue of abortion combines deeply held views on politics, religion, culture, sex and people’s own personal experiences.
Recently Lila Rose her ‘new media action’ group Live Action stirred up a hornet’s nest by doing hidden camera video reports meant to damage Planned Parenthood. They sent in people saying they were a pimp and underage prostitute and the first video they released showed the Planned Parenthood employee in New Jersey enthusiastically helping conceal illegal activity and even making business suggestions. Planned Parenthood fired the employee after the video came out but also tried to switch the focus back onto Live Action.
This 13 minute interview discusses a number of issues surrounding this story. I’m personally pro-choice but this topic brings up a number of issues about journalism and activism that I think are interesting.
Nearly two weeks ago, I did two interviews with farmers in Georgia who both made a serious accusation against Congressman Sanford Bishop related to the Pigford v. Glickman black farmers settlement — that when they brought up excessive lawyer fees and allegations of fraud, the congressman told them that an investigation of those issues might “shut down” the settlement.
Here are the clips I posted with farmers Eddie Slaughter and Willie Head.
Within a couple of days, Congressman Bishop responded to three different newspapers. His story was different each time.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also focused a fair bit of energy on the implications are might be bias in my reporting because the videos were published on Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com site. This is especially frustrating me because I had talked to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Bob Keefe both before and after the story was published and told him in no uncertain terms that the videos were shot and the interviews conducted entirely by me. No mention was made of me in the AJC article, nor was it mentioned that I’m a liberal Democrat who writes for the left-leaning Huffington Post. I asked the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a clarification and so far none has been forthcoming.
So, I’m hitting back, new media style. Speak truth to power and all that.
In order to clear up some of the issues raised by Congressman Bishop and these newspapers, tonight I recorded a phone interview with Willie Head. It’s about 11 minutes long and is presented to you with absolutely no editing.
My interview with Hatchet writer and director Adam Green is posted over at my VFXFilmmaker.com site.
I had a great conversation with author and KausFiles political blogger Mickey Kaus, who recently got over 100,000 votes in the California Democratic Senate primary. We talk about John Edwards, the joys and hassles of being a political contrarian, immigration, unions and the possibility of a third poolitical party. If you’re a political junkie — left, right, center, fringe, whatever — I think this is really interesting stuff that you don’t really hear too much in the mainstream media
At a couple of points in our discussion, Kaus makes a reference to JournoList; if you aren’t familiar with JournoList you can read about it here. and this post has a reference about me, even.
