Fox News had an open microphone near the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and during that time, the loud-mouth did what he had done ever-so-well in the past: shoved his foot in his mouth, all the way to his knee, and then, while trying to pull it back out, makes things even worse.

This time, though, it was different: it was a news crew that was recording conversations — without advising those in the area, or those who the crew knew would be recorded — and then aired those non-disclosed recordings. On one hand, you can argue it’s a violation of ethical behavior by journalists, but this is TV news, so that argument is out the window.
