When did Daily Caller start taking their cues from Code Pink?

Idiot from the Daily Caller only undermines actual reporters with actual questions.

Jun. 16, 2012 at 9:20amA reporter reports. When you insert yourself into the story, by heckling or otherwise, you become part of the story.
Being on the side of the angels does not change this. You are still an observer — the eyes and ears for the rest of us who are not there. In your own style, we merely want you to tell us what you saw and heard.
If you cannot settle for this limited role and have the urge to do more, then please leave your reporter’s credentials at the door. There is nothing wrong with acting on your convictions. But you absolutely cannot do so while covering an event you are reporting on.
This is the golden rule of journalism. Even pundits try to follow it.
