in this age of quick tempers and short fuses. what happens when the crowd turns to the reporter. the press under pressure from the audience. >> reporter: they call it the value voters summit. >> and god chose me for that moment. >> reporter: but what we valued was how reporters from opposite political camps both got hassled live. >> too bad we are doing live television. >> you're being rude. >> get out of here. >> there is a gentleman trying to prevent us from continuing our work here. excuse me, sir, i'm doing my job. i'm a reporter and we are actually showing your event on television. >> reporter: it happened almost simultaneously and it had nothing to do with ideology. >> this is about the rudest you could be. >> we are on live with msnbc. please don't touch the microphone. tell us what your thought is. >> my thought is you are rude. >> i'm doing my job and you -- >> excuse me, sir, you're interrupting my work right now.

>> you're interrupting me. >> you're causing a disturbance. >> reporter: the reporters just reporter where it was set for cameras shooting the event. organizers say the problem was that more people showed up than expected so they had to add chairs in the back and those seats enroached on the area already set up for the media. so when the reporter spoke attendees couldn't hear the speakers. >> and you are? >> i am linda swift and i paid to come here to listen, not to be disrupted. >> reporter: reporters are used to getting hassled but usually we get pestered by idiots just jumping up and down in the background. that's my producer. back at the value summit the man who scolded the reporter was escorted out by security. nothing like looks that kill to a live shot. >> those guys have my sympathy.

an etiquette expert is joining us. we really need you badly or maybe we don't at all. maybe no one is listening. >> i think the reason is we are shaking our finger at people when the truth is we are all rude so how do we respond to rudeness which just occurs? >> what's the right response? >> well, take the clip. how could that reporter had handled it differently. i'm thinking, derek, you would have turned to the person and engaged them and said, okay, what would you like to say about that? >> he did do that and she expressed how angry she was that he was interrupting the program with no sympathy that the guy was doing his job. >> exactly right. he should have come back a second time and engaged her more. >> reporter: what if he apologized and said i'm sorry that we are in your way, we are really just trying to work here. do you think that would have helped?

>> i think so. we have seen examples of people behaving badly. joe wilson, the congressman and kanye west. are we ruder or have the rules changed? >> i think the rules are changed. there are no rules. we are not really sure how to navigate the the new landscape. >> it is more are chaotic than it has ever been? >> i think it is and i think media is out there imploding on us 24/7 so we see more bad behavior because of that. >> how about the role of the internet. when you have the ability to criticize anonymously you are much more nasty than you would be. i get e-mails from people and they realize a real person is on the end they tend to calm down. >> it is how you handle it. that's another great example. you're handling it great. >> what do you see being passed on to our kids then who grew up with the internet an anonymous criticism and so forth. >> exactly. this is where we really got homework to do because you have to understand there is

accountability and how do we teach them that? that's the big question. we let them know there are real people that those words can help. >> thank you for your expertise on etiquette. we need it. >> thank you. >> coming up next on 9news now. the vegetation is overgrown, the roof is falling in. is this county doing enough to clean out properties like this? i'm peggy fox in dale city. i'll have the story coming up. back with the full forecast. so keep it right here. gao÷g>yñ

animals. >> rats were crawling over there. we see a lot of snakes and a lot of mosquitoes. >> next thing you will have squatters living there and it is not going to be a nice neighborhood. >> reporter: neighbors say the home which includes a backyard pool that hasn't been used for decades is a hazard. they want the county to fix it up or tear it down. >> it's been sitting like that for 20 years. nobody has lived there. so 20 years, then what? when the house does fall down or somebody does get hurt, is that when you're going to take control. >> reporter: the county can't take somebody's process without due process and they say it is not a danger yet. we finally did get in contact with the owner on this and got cooperation in hopes we will get some voluntary compliance. >> reporter: the neighborhood services division has been plastering this letter on homes with violations. it threatens to take them to court and fine them if the problems aren't corrected. >> people don't like the legal look of that notice. and once they see that

violation notice a lot of times that in itself will spur them to take corrective accident. >> reporter: 95% of property owners comply. >> just down the road from that home is this abandoned home. they can't find the owner. >> reporter: when the county steps in and takes care of the maintenance liens are placed on the property to recoup the expenses. in dale city, peggy fox, 9news now and wusa9.com. after receiving one of those warning residents have at least two weeks to comply before being issued a notice of violation. the battle over of the construction of a wal-mart in orange, virginia may be over but apparently the war goes over. preservationists announced they are challenging the county board of supervisors for approving the store that is close to an area where a famous
