The Media Falls Into Our Trap (They Could Have Used A “Crystal Ball”)

We now have evidence that NBC12 in Richmond, The Richmond Times Dispatch and its affiliates and The Politico are all journalistically dead.

For months, Virginia Virtucon has been at the forefront of exposing 1st Cong. Dist. Democrat candidate Krystal Ball’s out of the mainstream issue stances (pro-single payer health care and pro-cap and trade just to mention a few) as well as her suspicious campaign finance reports and even more suspicious personal finances (the hundreds of thousands of dollars in suspect penny stock companies that according to the media mostly only exist on paper as well as the mystery $5 million in K12 stock that the campaign has offered 3 or 4 separate explanations as to how she came to receive it.)

Did NBC12, the RTD or Politico pick up on any of these things?  No.

But post a couple smutty pictures on the internet and they’re all over that!

Well, the joke is on them because not only have we exposed them for the hacks that they are, but since they picked up this story late yesterday, over 5,000 people have visited the page which now goes into excruciating detail about her campaign and personal finance issues that they have failed to cover.

While we regret that we originally posted the photos (given that it is likely only Ms. Ball, her ex-husband, her female friend in the photos and the photographer are the only ones who would have had possession of these, we figured that this may have been a case of an ex seeking revenge and we didn’t want to be part of that so we removed them within an hour or so), we have decided to use this unique opportunity to put forward the solid investigative work that we previously performed so that an even wider audience will now be exposed to it so they can make judgments for themselves.

That used to be the job of the media.
