I would constantly say that's not what happened. In lot of that footage you could see the back of my head, stooping to get out of the way of the TV crews. I would say that in more than half the occasions by what the talking head were saying and what actually was taking place didn't coincide. But then I was covering issues of concern for so called progressive media outlets. Of which, by the way, only one progressive outlet ever won a pulritzer prize in the life of that award. Something of a matter of pride with that crowd. However, the Annenberg School of Communication seems to be gobbling up, or co-opting, any progessive journalist of note for its university programs.
