Dateline Up to Old Tricks!

NBC's Dateline is up to it's old tricks -- I agree with NASCAR it 'outrageous' and any journalist should be 'embarssed', but most want be. I find attempts like this comical and further proof that there are too many 'News Shows'. Let me give NBC and other television news outlets a hint -- America doesn't trust you and escapades like this does not help, stick to your thirty or sixty minute news updates -- not many watch now anyway -- and get back to trying to entertain us. You know sitcoms, mysteries, etc. -- attempting to make America or Americans look bad ain't entertaining.
NASCAR: Dateline NBC's Plan 'Outrageous'
NASCAR said NBC confirmed it was sending Muslim-looking men to a race, along with a camera crew to film fans' reactions. The NBC crew was "apparently on site in Martinsville, Va., walked around and no one bothered them," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Wednesday.
"It is outrageous that a news organization of NBC's stature would stoop to the level of going out to create news instead of reporting news," Poston said.
"Any legitimate journalist in America should be embarrassed by this stunt. The obvious intent by NBC was to evoke reaction, and we are confident our fans won't take the bait," he said.
