This is a recent confrontation I had with the fake journalists over at Fox News which has been rapidly sinking in the ratings... Good thing I recorded the entire incident because when they ran it on the Bill O'Reilly show they conveniently left out my questions.
Here's what really went down: This reporter named Griff Jenkins crashed the Take Back America Conference in Washington DC and was on a mission to stir up trouble by attacking people like Reverend Jesse Jackson.who was on hand to give a presentation about the 5 year anniversary of the War in Iraq. Jenkins had earlier confronted Jackson in an ambush type of manner and berated him with questions about Reverend Jeremiah Wright who is the pastor to Senator Barack Obama. They wanted Jackson to dis him.
For those who don't know, what's been happening is that the 'Faux' News family have been on a mission to try and pull down and derail the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama. Thus far they've used every trick in the book and thus far nothing has worked. Their latest gimmick has been to show his Pastor of 20 years in a bad light and then try to associate Senator Obama with the smear job they did on his Pastor.
When Jackson attempted to answer they would cut him off and ask a bunch of more questions. Jackson got away from them and did his presentation. After the speech, Jenkins and his cameraman got on stage, pushed their way past the conference attendees and other reporters who had been waiting patiently to talk to Jackson. Again the Fox News crew started loudly berating Jackson about the Pastor's 7 year old remarks. Jenkins loudly demanded that Jackson publicly dis-avow Pastor Wright for the remarks he made about 9-11. Jesse refused and answered Jenkins in a calm manner. Jenkins wasn't satisfied and once again he loudly berated Jackson.I decided enough was enough and stepped in to flip the script by interviewing Jenkins.
Here's some things to keep in mind as you watch the slickly edited video by Fox which was shown on the O'Reilly Factor and the audio which I recorded.
1-Note how Fox News left out my questions when they showed the clip on O'Reilly. Both the Fox Reporter and myself were recording at the same time.
2-Note that Barack Obama had not delivered his speech on race and politics. He was scheduled to speak on that topic as well as the remarks made by his Pastor within a half hour of this incident. Everyone was rushing to find a TV to see the speech.
Instead of waiting to see what Senator Obama had to say, Fox News tried to kick up dust and then make it seem like what we were watching occurred in the aftermath of Obama's speech
3-On the stage and in attendance at Take Back America were people of all races. Everybody got along-there was no race baiting. The only race baiting that went on that day came from Fox News.
4-Fox News got the hell out of dodge after the incident. They were shook up big time, when the same intrusive tactics were used on them. Notice how Jenkins tells me to stop harassing him and demands to know who I am. Funny how he didn't afford anyone else the same courtesy.
5-Here's the biggest irony.. after the speech the Fox Reporter Griff Jenkins was raving about how brilliant Barack Obama's speech was. Funny how he didn't put those glowing remarks on the air.
6-Fox News didn't identify me in the clip even though I have been on that network at least half a dozen times. What's even crazier is the O'Reilly Factor has attempted to get me on their show several occasions. Funny how they forgot to ID me during the newscast.
My guess is that they would have to note that Davey D is a reporter who writes for the San Jose Mercury News and has syndicated talk show that airs in several markets daily. That would've legitimized me in the eyes of those who may have been led to believe that I was a race-baiting lunatic. In other words Fox News was reaching for straws and had to resort to misleading folks..By acknowledging my press status then Fox News would've been made to look even more like blithering idiots. The funny thing is that many people did recognize me due to the fact that I am frequently on other networks and in documentaries.
ani's note:
*The video here is from Fox News, where Davey D is shown demanding Griff Jenkins to answer a question. Faux News conveniently edited out the question Davey D wanted answered
*The audio underneath is Davey D's full mp3 recording of the entire event Nothing was edited, you pick who the real journalist is in this situation...
