John Sweeney, his pit-bull of choice,
lacks the dignity and tact required for a story that would, at least on its surface, address the activities and practices of a religion. As Sweeney himself explains, his tactics have nothing to do with intelligent reporting:
"There are three rules in journalism.
First, find a crocodile. Two, poke it in the eye with a stick. Three, stand back and report what happens next."
Sweeney teamed up with his aptly named
producer, Sarah Mole, who had previously done Sweeney's bidding as an undercover "mole" in a religious organisation for an earlier "Sweeney Investigates" programme. Together, they set about putting together a programme that follows the classic pattern
of lazy journalists.
In this clip you see how Sweeney's "poking the stick" works.
