what a disgusting sack of shit
This "To Catch a Predator" stuff has always struck me as really sensationalized and vile and probably illegal, I'm happy publications like Rolling Stone and Esquire are running features about it. Anyway, I thought this from YouTube was pretty enlightening.
"The vigilante group Perverted Justice gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by Dateline NBC To Catch a Predator to lure men to sting houses for the purposes of capturing them on video for television show material. NBC faces multiple lawsuits on the stings.
In this clip, television reporter Byron Harris confronts the leader of Perverted Justice, Xavier Von Erck (his actual name is Phillip John Eide), about the highly questionable tactics used by the group. He becomes very defensive and insults the award-winning, 35-year veteran investigative reporter from WFAA News 8 of Dallas, Texas."
