It crosses the line from investigative reporting because the police are involved and the predator is arrested.
If the police don't have appropriately collected evidence, they can't file charges.
Skirts my statement. The fact is, because the police are involved, the ped is charged, and the ped is lured to the location, it is in fact a sting operation, not simply investigative reporting.
It's still investigative reporting. The reporters have no authority to make an arrest. That is up to the police.
And I don't think this has anything to do with the scenario you mention.
It's an indirect attack on James O'Keefe style reporting which outs favored leftwing cronies doing corrupt things.
