Chris Hansen is an easy get for any semi popular podcast, he's been blackballed pretty much from any big media outlets and has been living off "To Catch a Predator" for years now
He's tried to restart the show via kickstarter with little success


Why is Chris Hansen black balled? I googled him and the only thing I seen was that he wrote some bad checks or something.

A lot of the cases from To Catch a Predator were thrown out due to entrapment and less than credible evidence and Chris's reputation as a journalist took a hit. That and a bunch of lawsuits later, Chris's journalistic integrity is in shambles.
right or wrong, you can't trust him:manny:

Can you substantiate any of this? I've seen Chris speak on the issue and he basically said a few people tried to use the "entrapment" defense and it was rarely if ever successful. How is his journalistic integrity in shambles for merely catching pedophiles in the act with documented evidence?

Here you go, pretty much the highlights of all the controversies. Of course Chris has his side of the story and he's probably right for the most part but that doesn't discount the fact that he can't get one of the most popular shows ever on any of the hundreds of networks we have now. Why won't one of the struggling shops who need some pub give Chris a chance?. Him passing bad checks and stealing money from his kickstarter in recent years doesn't help anything either

None of those highlights were particularly compelling IMO. Post the part about this 8 time emmy award winner's journalistic integrity being in shambles.
