in the 20th century, wallace, upton sinclair, or william went undercover as a generator janitor in aicago hospital, all these people use deception. the reason they do that is because they only the most important thing is to tell the most important thing is to tell the truth to the masses. you have to question what you are told. you have to report off the record conversations. it has been done before, just never in medicinal agent of an age where media is so consolidated. ok, brian is on the line from michigan. you are on the line with james o'keefe. caller: thanks, james. quite an interesting conversation. i am going to talk to the white house press corps in particular. i have done my own story on cnn, and i can to you whether it is jim acosta, tapper, dana bash, you can go on and on and on, none of them have a degree in print journalism. ar down onto be that, they all have -- anderson cooper especially -- they all have alliances with the democratic party, but they do not announce that to us. is in the white house press corps specifically, not what you are doing, sir, is that they sh
