Washington DC Escorts: The Truth About Conservative “Journalism”

And as Dave Wiegel reported in The Washington Independent, O’Keefe and his accomplices, Stan Dai and Joseph Basel, worked as undergraduates at newspapers funded and founded by funds from the Collegiate Network. The Collegiate Network’s parent organization, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, enjoyed $8.3 million in contributions in 2009. Hannah Giles, O’Keefe’s partner in the ACORN scam, enjoyed an internship at Young Americans for Freedom’s National Journalism Center.
In one respect, this money has been almost entirely wasted. As the antics of O’Keefe and company conclusively demonstrate, the right has failed to train or inspire many genuine journalists. (In addition to his infamous pimp performance in Washington’s ACORN office and his TV repairman gig in Louisiana, O’Keefe and Wetmore also tried to travel the country to stage a series of phony gay marriages in order to claim benefits.)
