When investigative reporters eat their own
ABC's 20/20 is conducting an investigative report on another show that specializes in investigative reporting - Dateline NBC.
Dateline's "To Catch A Predator" line of shows has generated alot of controversy in its quest to entrap would-be child sex predators before they can commit their crime. The show is viewed by many people when it airs regularly. One would guess it would be the same crowd interested in the latest paternity test on The Maury Povich Show, but enough of the greatest talk show ever.
Check out this clip of when "To Catch A Predator" actually caught a real, live, Predator. Ah-nold would be proud.
20/20 is investigating the story of the DA who was caught by the show, and subsequently committed suicide rather than live with the shame. ABC is looking into the practices behind the popular series, and whether they just go too far.
If you get through reading this and the universe has not collapsed in on itself, then ABC has proven that you really can investigate the investigators.
But the questions remains, who will investigate those that investigate the investigators? Stay tuned for an exclusive investigative report.

Sad but true that people feel better about their own moral inconsistencies when they can shake their heads at others.
Great Maury Povich reference, btw. I thought I was the only one who enjoyed watching the misfortunes of poor (mostly black) single mothers and deadbeat fathers desperate for a bit of cash and their 15 seconds of fame. No other show, except maybe COPS, has done more to elevate the psychological status of black people in America. Bring back my Maury at 9am CityTV!
