it's the one she was making when o'keefe tried to trick her into going somewhere where it seemed to indicate he was going to sexually assault her.

1. I watched a little of it. It wasn't very well done imho
There was too little actual substance about exactly what those 'journalists' were trying to do, what their goals are.

2. I admit I didn't watch it
The description of it that she posted during her expose of the incident seemed a little too much like that standard "look at how neutral I'm being--don't expect me to say anything about them they wouldn't want to hear."

4. One of them was saying they used their video camera as their "weapon"
and she didn't even question that statement. It was really stupid and yes, she didn't do any real 'investigation' of them at all.

3. I saw yesterday CNN started a chirpy lead-in to "exciting young conservative video artists!"

"...including one who's antigay! You may agree or disagree with their ideals, but you've got to admire their spirit!"

or words very close to that. Beaming smiles of undisguised admiration. I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing. I wasn't watching it before, and didn't see any of it after that. Was that the beginning of the segment you're referring to?
