Damn that Video

One of the reasons I carry my Flip everywhere is that it can allow me to video tape in an instant those things that I want to preserve. A location, or cool lighting setup, or the models just hanging and being silly.

There is another reason too. To catch people doing things and then lying about them later. Like this piece today.

Look... and get this straight... I don't care if you like or not Fred Thompson, the piece as written is a lie. It is at least a gross distortion of what really happened. And that in journalism is a lie. Video should be in your pocket too. When security guards start fkn with you or you see something going on that shouldn't be. I love my little pocket video Flip.

But at the end of the day, a journalist who lies to you is more of a problem than a store clerk lying to you. They ask for our trust, no... they actually demand it, and then they lie.

Roger Simon is a liar. Remember that every time you read an article by him. Every time. Liar. And if you think it is because I am sticking up for Thompson, you missed the point. Stand up for the truth.

Or welcome lies and distortions into your life and read this hack Simon. You will have fun trying to figure out if he has lied to you or told you what really happened. As far as I am concerned, that speculating is over.

Riehl World View: What Is Roger Simon's Problem?: "Journalist Roger Simon wrote a scathing article about Fred Thompson today at The Politico. Thanks to CBS, we have some video from the same day. Compare the text from the story below describing the scene I've uploaded to You Tube."
