Whoa, Meredith! What amazing investigative journalism!

I have no idea if Naomi Wolf’s book is any good or not.  I’m not even done with the video.  I have it paused now at 1:45.

But what is Meredith Vierra thinking and what are viewers supposed to think?

Wolf reports that the First Brigade is being deployed in the United States in contravention to ….

Well, she never got quite to talk about the legal precedent.  Because Vierra interrupted her and said that, “We actually did talk to the people at Northcom…”  And, suprise, surprise, they claimed that that division wouldn’t be used in law enforcement, dealing with civil disobedience, or crowd control.

So they had their intern call up and get an official denial and that is news reporting?  So, if the Colonel had issued a statement saying, “Why yes, we plan to use the brigade to apprehend and jail civilians,” then that would mean that Wolf was credible.  But since he issued a public denial we can now “expose” Wolf as lacking in credibility.

What?

What would have happened if we had this kind of alleged journalism during the Nixon Administration? How can Vierra not realize what a laughable hack she is being?
