Local TV news anchor: I hate James O’Keefe because he demonstrates that I’m an overpaid talking head

Prepare yourself for one of the most hostile TV interviews you’ll ever see. No, please allow us to make a correction. This isn’t an interview, it’s an attack.

Philadelphia TV anchor Jeff Cole can’t even hold off on his disdain for James O’Keefe long enough to introduce the young citizen-journalist.

O’Keefe’s crime? Exposing the corruption in the New Jersey teacher’s union with another of his trademark undercover interviews.

  • WHat is this guy doing on a Fox station? He acts like he is GOd on a stick, and sounds far more leftist thatn neutral or right leaning. How did he even get his job?

  • Heh, he thinks he has a story and wanting to show he is a *hard* reporter. He has a chip on his shoulder I'm thinking.

  • He is just mad that a younger cuter guy is actually doing what he is suppose to be doing. Also perhaps he is looking at the boy and realizing "wow I used to have ethics and did stood for something when I was young what the heck happened to me?" But instead of taking that as an adult he is lashing out like an idiot.

    oh and i think he wanted to hear that he was given money by Fox or someone... yet i am sure he wouldn't ask media matter nor npr about Soros.

  • What else does one expect from a FOX-OWNED station like WTXF in Philly? The news isn't being done out of News Director Kingsley Smith's office on Market Street where WTXF is located...but out of SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA where Rupert Murdoch is from. And by the way Murdoch is part of the power global elite who want to force the false left-right paradigm down our throats even further and not make us think for ourselves and as a sovereign nation.

  • Since Jeff Cole is grilling O'Keefe like a cheese sandwich, I'd say he's in line for the soon-to-be-created Interrogator Czar, even though it will only last two years.

  • Why did Jeff Cole spew his anger on James O'Keefe? Perhaps he had an argument with his wife or his boss before going on the air or maybe, just maybe a relative is a member of the New Jersey teacher's union. Thank goodness there are people like James O'Keefe and his volunteers who let the rest of know just what goes on.
    Bless Them All.

  • Question: Why does anyone volunteer to go on TV shows like this? They know that they either won't get a fair shake or get 30 seconds to speak.

  • i think the tipping point for the media, the jump the shark moment, came with dan rather trying to foist fake documents on america.

    the internet is now so much more important than network news, it's funny/sad that someone like the newsreader katie couric gets paid $15,000,000 per year.

    • I really like the term "Citizen Journalist." News should be in the hands of the citizens, not a group of elite gate keepers.

      We need to tear down the damn gate. Let the people decide which piece of news is fit for them to read...

      Wait: That is what the internet does!

      Go figure.

    • "i think the tipping point for the media, the jump the shark moment, came with dan rather trying to foist fake documents on america."

      Ditto!

      Dan Rather's comments about the blog fact checkers "some guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing" gave us the word, 'pajamahadeen'.

      The MSM refuses to do its job, so others are left to do it. To see journalism fall to the sad state it is in now is bad news for any country and once it's gone, it will never come back. The bar has been lowered so much that it is the standard now, so when you have a generation of young people watching the MSM, they think that's what journalism is. They really have no clue at all.

      I think it was Cronkite who used to say, "Get it first, but first get it right." Now it's just, "Get it first, whether it's right or not"

      Everybody loses in this game.

        • .
          The New York Times has/had this motto below the banner: "All the News That's Fit to Print".

          To keep up with their new policy it should read: "All the News ( In Our Opinion ) That Fits, We Print."

          Still, the paper quality makes it pretty good fish-wrap or bird cage liner, but not quite soft enough for TP unless one is desperate.
