Like many of you, I’ve been watching the breathless news coverage of the potentially-catastrophic situation at Japan’s Fukijima Daiich nuclear plant. Like many of you, I watched the video of the explosion there and thought “Wow…that can’t be good”. But how “not good” is the situation there? Well, there we wade into incredibly murky waters. [...]

Today’s lesson in How New Media Has Changed Everything comes to us via the fine, non-partisan, journalistically-pure folks over at NPR. James O’Keefe’s ambush video rangers at Project Veritas sent a couple folks, under the guise of front men for an Islamist group, to meet with NPR’s head fundraiser Ron Schiller.
