The Blaze questions the ethics of O'Keefe

Quantum Windbag · Mar 13, 2011

An interesting read especially when you consider the source. The Blaze is a site started by Glenn Beck modeled after Huffington Post. If only HuffPo was written so well.

s it ever permissible to lie to get the truth? This is a perennial question of moral philosophy and religious thought, but one that also bites into the very core of undercover journalisman issue thats been in the news lately, with the work of the controversial, conservative filmmaker James OKeefe and pro-life activist Lila Rose making national waves.

You may recall that Lila Rose, right, sent undercover agents to a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Jersey. The agents, posing as a pimp and prostitute couple, taped their interaction with a Planned Parenthood rep who eagerly gave the couple advice about procuring contraceptives and STD tests for underage sex slaves. OKeefe, below, has been responsible for many undercover ambushes. The most famous one confirmed that certain members of ACORN were legally-challenged. The most recent one exposed that certain executives at NPR are mentally-challenged (which, of course, is not a crime).
