"Vice President Joe Biden's office has
asked the U.S. Senate Press Gallery to investigate conservative
journalist Jason Mattera's tactics during a recent interview, a process
that could result in his press credentials being revoked,
Mattera, the editor of Human Events and a widely known video ambush
interviewer, caught Biden by surprise after asking if he would pose
together for a joint picture. While embracing the vice president for
the photo, Mattera asked Biden if he 'regret[s] using a rape reference
to describe Republican opposition to the president's bill...
' 'I didn't use ” no, no, no,' Biden
told Mattera amid a crowd of onlookers on Capitol Hill. 'What I said
— let's get it straight, guy, don't screw around with me... I said
rape was up three times in Flint. There are the numbers. Go look at the
numbers. Murder's up, rape is up and burglary's up. That's exactly what
I said.'"
And he's exactly wrong, which is why he's now lashing out at the guy
who publicly embarrassed him about his fact-free demagoguery. Mattera
is defiant in the face of Biden's attempt at intimidation: "This is a
thug administration in action. [Reporter
who bugged Biden: ‘They’re suggesting that my credentials get yanked’
for ‘rape’ question]

It's guerrilla journalism. I don't know why "Plugs" Biden is so upset. Progressive/liberal/socialist/Democrat hero Mao Zedong would have been so proud of the tactic.
