You gotta admit: these guys pulled off a pretty elaborate prank! The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called a news conference Monday at the National Press Club. It was attended by several newspaper reporters and television camera crews. What they announced sent shock waves through those attending. The man who stood behind the podium announced that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, long opposed to ANY action on climate change, had changed its stance, and would now drop opposition to the Boxer-Kerry climate change bill. Some news networks interrupted regular programming, and breathlessly treated the announcement as BREAKING NEWS. But it was a fake. Read a CNN blog about it here. Fake news conference. Actors pretending to be newsmakers. Real reporters. Real embarrassing. In this clip you'll see these pranksters busted by an ACTUAL member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Also, Rick interviews the man who pulled off a major GOTCHA. Why did he do it? What statement was he trying to make? Watch. Filed under: Clips From The Show |
