"Hi, Mr. Hansen, I'm a cameraman and we're led to believe you committed infidelity."

Mrs. Hansen probably said, "Chris, would you mind sitting over here for a second?"

I can imagine it!

Aside from the child part and some of the guys that get caught on Predator were married.

Yeah, the child part is just a minor detail.

Doesn't make him any less hypocritical.

Would it be different if he were exposing married men cheating? Married women cheating.

Maybe you don't consider cheating on a spouse aberrant behavior?

If you're refering to my commet? I never said he was a Sex Predator.

no, not specifically referring to your comment or saying anyone was calling him a sex predator, but the story and these comments are clearly trying to setting up a correlation between what he did and the criminals he catches

I understand why, of course, and I am not defending what he did, but I don't think it makes him a hypocrite (to refer to your comment ) either

Sure it does.

His 'gotcha' shock journalism.

He is in other people's lives to expose their secrets.

He has secrets too.

sure, I see why you might think he is a hypocrite (and why the press would love this kind of story), but his secrets reveal him to have a fairly normal human weakness, not criminal deviant behavior

This IS the National Enquirer and they did the same thing to John Edwards. They were prolly going for the irony of getting him on video cuz they coulda just took pics and reported it.

Okay somebody who works for the National Enquirer's cousin. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, I never pictured the guy living in a crystal palace. Egads, the man cheats on his wife, how unusual. Verses people who take advantage of the naive and vulnerable. I say hand his wife a cast-iron skillet and whatever she decides to do with it so be it. But these mofos, that don't mind rolling up in other grown folks houses to screw their 12 year old kids, or these credit card/shipping scammers damaging others livelyhood and hard earned lines of credit, shoot 'em.

How about not destroying other's lives if you value yours?

One one level his reporting is a public service in exposing these guys, who jump at the opportunity for sex with a minor, on the other hand, these same men can be apprehended without the camera.

How he is referenced in the same breath as the creeps he exposed from his high moral horse.

May not seem to be a big deal to you but he is yet another high profile personality caught with his pants down. It's not illegal, but it still sells papers. Which is why NE is interested and it doesn't have to have anything to do with a personal vendetta against him. Just another salacious story to keep tongues wagging, and it will.

I don't know maybe it's me, but it seems in this case it's too tit for tat. Too many folks walking around doing some real damage to folks and their lives, for me to get excited about somebody's dirty sock. Too many journalism graduates with nothing else peddle, it's getting equivalant to the sue happy ambulance chasers.

He's not doing any damage to anyone's life by cheating?

Let's ask his wife.

How about the kids?

ThrillUorKillU said:

Ok cool. But I just say one sould practice what they preach..That was the point of my first commet.

That makes no sense. He isn't a sexual predator and he doesn't molest kids. He IS practicing what he preaches. If he were caught with someone underaged, that is hypocritical. He was just sleeping with another woman. That is not what he exposes. That is not what he preaches.

So as long as his moral preachings aren't reflective of his personal conduct, his personal conduct is excusable?!!!

Do you think that only minors are hurt by illicit sex?

You don't think he preaches 'family values' as a motivator for what he does?

Adultery is criminal in some jurisdictions even if it isn't prosecuted.

It's not about his conduct being criminally deviant.

The nature of what he does implies moral superiority and values. His conduct show no morals or values. That's the hypocrisy.

So I guess if you're ever cheated on, you'll pass if off as "a fairly normal human weakness" no biggie, happens to us all?

Sure those are valid points, and certainly he's put himself in a position to be judged. But not all crimes are equal in my eyes.

Any? damage. That is not what I said. Twisting just to make an argument doesn't play here. His wife needs to do whatever she feels fit to do, his contract is with her. In this case, to me, the public jury, trial and execution, has crossed the line, and seems like another of many slippery slopes of an organization deciding on who deserves to be publically flogged and for what for. I'm not for it, and I said it. This is not a morality leader, or a politician, or somebody making millions on being some kind of icon of who kids should strive to be, he's a journalist who happened to find a subject matter that makes him very popular and he had sense enough to run with it in America, shame on him. Maybe I missing something but I've never seen him promote himself or his life anywhere outside of the the tv show, no commercials or personal endorsements. I don't know does he do speaking engagement to schools or something?

Chris Hansen got busted cheating.

Chris Hansen busted pedophiles talking to children online.

Which one is worse to you?

I don't think anyone is professing this guy's innocence or anything. Nobody is saying what he did was excusable. And it seemed to me morningsong's use of "real damage" (not "no damage" as you suggested in your reply) wasn't to suggest nobody got hurt, but more a matter or putting it in perspective relative to more damaging issues (such as pedophilia). Call me crazy but I don't think the damage done by a cheating parent is the same as the damage done by an adult that sexually abuses a minor.

Seeing that Chris Hansen has sex outside of his marriage and that the guys he busted were not having sex with underaged individuals (the fact that they were attempting to is not the same as actually committing the act - and the law also makes that distinction) I'd say his acting on his desires is worse than those who had desires that weren't acted on.

Nowhere.

Chris Hanson wasn't caught attempting to cheat, he was caught after cheating.

It will be that special man.

I've been in relationships. 14 years even.

It's not about avoiding temptation, it's about knowing what you have at home.

What you said was, "Call me crazy but I don't think the damage done by a cheating parent is the same as the damage done by an adult that sexually abuses a minor."

I was factually correcting your statement not assessing the damage of potential molestation versus actual cheating.

Well he cheated with an adult so it aint hardly the same thing as what he busted those pervs for.

In any case, dude is FOINE so it's no surprise he was gonna have pussy thrown in his face. I'm surprised he wasn't caught sooner.
