The Resume

    Corresponding reporter for NBC's Dateline
    Anchored WDIV-TV in Michigan from 1988-1993
    Graduate of Michigan State University
    Worked with online vigilante group Perverted-Justice.com to catch online child predators and televise their busts

Why he might be annoying:

    He created mass anxiety among parents with his ongoing cover stories on how men use MySpace and Yahoo chatrooms to sexually prey on children.
    His stories further fuelled anxieties by exposing predators who are teachers, police investigators, physicians and even a rabbi.
    He sported a tan, appearing to have spent time in the sun when he covered his story on Internet predators in Florida.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His career start was with radio stations and local newspapers.
    His stories on Internet predators provide parents with advice on how to protect their children from molesters.
    In the busts, he would ask would-be molesters some very hard-pressing questions.
    The teachers and rabbi exposed from the stories resigned from their jobs.
    He won four Emmys for outstanding news coverage and three Clarion awards for his stories dealing with international issues.
