He clearly was "on the clock". Look at the pics again. Then again, I guess something like this doesn't really suprise me Maybe he should worry more about doing his job, then making news.....then again, maybe that was his job
He was not making news (the person trying to report it was trying to make news out of nothing - like Andrew B having someone to throw eggs so he could report it) in his questions or personal filming. No foul. No story. No outrage.
The only confrontation i see is in the article writers words, not the pictures. He asked questions. Took pictures. Is that now a crime?
One of the biggest laughs we (in the media) get is the assumption that if you work for one network your liberal or another your conservative. 99.9% of us do our job. Period. No matter who we work for.
It doesn't appear that he was an actual reporter- probably more of a cameraman or producer. If he was doing things on his own time separate from ABC then what is the problem?
From the link.....
"In my opinion, the ABC employee’s role at the rally was to provoke a confrontation with participants so ABC News cameras could record it and then use the footage; literally, making news."

If you are saying it's not true then the media needs to work on that "assumption" we have out here...I'd say the "assumption" has been well earned by the media... Just take a good look at the anchors at the networks.....NBC, CBS and ABC have a very liberal agenda......
Abc CBS NBC think we know what they are all about. Report the news, that is it, nothing more nothing less. Hmmmmmmmmmm Obama administration and our Media, what do they have in common? The job is to report the news only, not make the news!
Veit aknowledges that he lost his cool because the responses were off the beam. He was contracted and got reprimanded by ABC. With that reprimand, ABC accepted responsibility for those actions to an extent.
It truly is no more and no less.
We aren't talking about premeditation. The guy lost his temper. The rest is the need for a bunch of people to feel like victims.
If it weren't premeditated then why was it that the person documenting the scene had to do a bit of detective work to find out who this guy was.
This is nothing more than lefties making excuses for inexcusable behavior and then trying to make the people, who are shocked by this incident, feel small. Par for the course
