Marsha Bartel, who was fired last December after a stellar 21-year career with NBC (including 10 years at WMAQ-Channel 5), claimed she was forced out after blowing the whistle on the show for violating journalistic ethical standards and many of NBC's own policies and guidelines.

Huh? WTF is "journalistic ethical standards"?

"In her lawsuit, Bartel claimed that NBC pays a vigilante group called Perverted Justice to lure targets into the sting, and that the network's relationship with the group and law enforcement agencies crosses ethical lines."

She may have a good point there...

When he was a reporter, Mark Twain got the following advise from an editor.

"Get your facts first,
and then you can distort them as much as you please."

An oxymoron.
