Any sane coverage of the latest O'Keefe anti-union stunt in New Jersey?

[TheeHazelnut]

Someone I know posted the latest O'Keefe video "Teachers Gone Wild" on his Facebook page and I flipped out a little telling him that this video was by someone who had released doctored videos multiple times in the past. I went looking on the internet to see if there are any reliable journalists covering this story but all I could find were right wing blogs trumpeting it as a huge success and various local news lightweights lapping up O'Keefe's spin. Does anyone have any good links to stories about what actually happened? The local union people say that O'Keefe's tape is (big surprise) a complete fabrication. Would like to read more about that side of the story rather than O'Keefe's.

1. And We Need To Promote This Shtbag Why??

Maybe, for once, the corporate media has a few scrupples. Took them getting burned by this douchnozzle, but they've wised up. This waste of protoplasm should be doing hard time right now for breaking into Senator Landreau's office. Hopefully this oxygen thief's 15 minutes are up and no one pays attention to him.

2. I'm not seeking to promote him.

I'm looking for coverage that specifically debunks his latest lies. Thanks.

4. Good Luck...

His mere presence debunks whatever he's trying to push. I'm hoping this flea's days of sliming innocent people is done. I'm sure his buddy Drudge (another irrelevant loser) has plenty of links for you.

5. I don't want Drudge links.

Ignoring O'Keefe is a great idea, but when someone comes at me with a video that claims to show the teacher's union doing horrible things, it would be nice to have a reference to turn to that disproves what he's saying. I tried the "he's a liar" approach and the person did not accept that without specific rebuttals of the tape.

6. Sadly You Can't Refute Stupid

If someone is gullible enough to believe the slime this loser puts out then the battle is all but lost to start with. To paraphrase Barney Frank, you'd have better luck arguing with a dining room table. I saw mention of his latest piece of excrement last week and noticed that not even FOXPAC or the Freepers were giving it much attention. Best to let those sleeping dogs lie. There's enough misinformation about teachers and the educational system out there right now.

Cheers...

8. I guess I agree with you

I gave up talking to this person, because if they were willing to uncritically accept what this video presented even after I gave them links to news stories about how O'Keefe and Big Government had deceptively edited videos in the past, then they obviously can't be reasoned with.
