Jesse Watters, the O’Reilly Factor Ambusher, Ambushed

FoxNewsBoycott — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:29:01 +0000

ThinkProgress.org was able to catch up with Jesse Watters and ask him a few questions before he was able to hop in an elevator. He tried to avoid the questions, having had them asked numerous times, and was caught in a few lies. First he stated that he didn’t know who ThinkProgress.org was. Then he stated that he sat down with Amanda Terkel. And as he got in the elevator, he stated that he didn’t refuse to comment for the NY Times.

Of course Watters knows about ThinkProgress – he said he called them, though nobody at ThinkProgress agrees, and he followed Amanda Terkel for hours and then she stopped on the street to talk to him. She never “sat down” with him. As for the NY Times claim, reporter Brian Stelter stated, “I called Mr. Watters repeatedly at his office #, and he referred my calls to Fox’s PR people. He refused to comment.”

Jesse Watters Finally Ambushed… Sorta

FoxNewsBoycott — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:38:13 +0000

John Cook from Gawker.com finally met up with Jesse Watters, a producer for The O’Reilly Factor, outside of his Huntington, NY house on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, they didn’t get an interview as they avoided confrontation and allowed Watters to leave, without incident, or a word spoken.

After two months of tracking and waiting for such an opportunity, the result is a disappointment, but the nonconfrontational nature of the “ambush” goes further in showing how much of a coward Watters is. If he can dish it out, he should be able to take it. But alas, he wasn’t even asked to take it. He was given courtesy, but he had none to give in return.

Are any of us really surprised?

Gawker Still Trying to Ambush Jesse Watters

FoxNewsBoycott — Fri, 22 May 2009 17:55:53 +0000

Jesse Watters, the producer for The O’Reilly Factor who likes to ambush and harass unsuspecting people and then calls it journalism, is still being hunted by Gawker.com.

Apparently Gawker bloggers learned of Watters’ new $545,000 home, located in a cul-de-sac in Huntington, NY, and have been talking to his neighbors (and the cops called on them). A cul-de-sac has one way in and one way out, so it’s just a matter of time. Hopefully the bloggers more luck ambushing Jesse Watters this time around….

If you watched the previous Fox News ambush video of Janeane Garafalo, you may have noticed that there was an edit in the middle. Here’s a full 6 minutes of raw video, much of which was not on Fox News. Check out around the 5:45 mark where she voices her opinion on Bill O’Reilly.

Janeane Garafalo Handles Ambush on Fox News

FoxNewsBoycott — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:49:34 +0000

Coming out of Starbucks, minding her own business, Janeane Garafalo was ambushed with with questions about her comments regarding the Tea Party protesters being “racist rednecks.” She handled herself well and turned the table by pointing out some of the offensive signs and asking, several times, “Why were they not protesting for the last eight years under the Bush spending?”

Might I also point out the irony that it was Greta Van Susteren who aired the video. That’s right, Van Susteren, who recently denounced ambush journalism when she was watching over Todd Palin at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Greta Van Susteren vs. Bill O’Reilly

FoxNewsBoycott — Mon, 11 May 2009 22:01:25 +0000

As you know, Bill O’Reilly is known for having his people conduct ambush-style reporting. Recently, The O’Reilly Factor producer Jesse Watters has made a name for himself for this very reason. Fox News, obviously, sees no problem with this lack of journalistic integrity.

Someone should tell Greta Van Susteren that she works for Fox News. Here she is after the White House Correspondents Dinner, to which she brought Todd Palin…

The reporter may have been working – but he was not. He was at a social event and not looking to be ambushed by a surprise interview.

This looks like another case of Fox News personalities wanting to dish it out, but not being able to take it.
