I don't know. You basically just described the plot of "Pay It Forward" and we all know how THAT did at the box office.
But seriously, Michael Moore's questionable journalism hasn't hurt his reputation at all, from what I can see. And Rush Limbaugh's purchases of illegal drugs won't lose him many faithful supporters. I really don't think the American public punishes people for muckraking. I'm beginning to wonder if we all secretly enjoy it.
