Yes, that was Washington Post Reliable Source columnist Amy Argetsinger schlepping around with a handheld video recorder at last nights “Grammys on the Hill.” And, while she’s a respectable journalist, her intentions were no different than the TMZ.com videographers who desperately want to snap a pic of Britney’s cooch or Lindsay Lohan with coke running down her nose.
Except Argetsinger’s target was of a different sort. She wanted to get a video of Sen. Ted Kennedy making an ass of himself as part of an “all-star” group sing-a-long of “We Are the World.” Well! Looks like she got her mark. But did she lose some dignity in the process?
[…] WaPo Reliable Source columnist Amy Argetsinger snuck a camcorder into last night’s “Grammy’s on the Hill” awards, and captured an inebriated Ted Kennedy slurring his way through a group rendition of “We Are The World.” A sarcastic Lloyd Grove muttered, “Wow, Ted Kennedy drunk at an open-bar D.C. event! Call the presses!” [BigHeadDC] […]
It’s likely that Amy Argetsinger did not “sneak” the camera in–it was likely okayed by the event organizers. Did you call Amy before this item ran? Did you call the event organizers? Please get the facts straight. And most people think the current version of The Reliable Source is excellent, and it is—well-written, funny, lively, informative, timely, and the authors actually call sources to confirm items. Research, diligence, fact-checking, documentation and journalism are the backbone of any good column.
