Gosh, you can’t get anything past the liberal-bias detectors at the Media Research Center. Having already declared Twitter to have a liberal bias, the MRC has found yet another font of bias: ABC’s hidden-camera show “What Would You Do?”
The headline on MRC employee Scott Whitlock’s Aug. 25 NewsBusters post declares “What Would You Do?” to be a “Liberal Hidden Video Show.” Whitlock doesn’t use that word in the body of his post, but he offers examples of what he presumably means:
The ABC program uses a hidden camera to see how people react. On February 4, 2011, host John Quinones explained how the show hired an actor to play a security guard and pretend to harass Mexicans. The piece, billed as an investigation of Arizona’s immigration law, featured the faux-security guard spewing, “…If they’re not legal citizens, they shouldn’t be here. They should be deported. They look Mexican.”
On March 4, 2011, Quinones and his TV crew constructed a hidden camera scenario that involved gay military veterans expressing physical affection for each other in a diner.
The journalist narrated, “They’re holding hands, stroking each other’s hair and caressing each other’s legs…So what will happen if we throw in our actor Vince, posing as an irritated diner, who’s had enough of this PDA.”
PDA is “liberal”? We had no idea. Or is it only when gays do it?
We’ve previously detailed how Whitlock criticized the hidden-camera segments on “What Would You Do?” while praising the right-wing hidden-camera entrapment antics of Lila Rose.
