It doesn’t matter how many times The Daily Caller’s reporters head out to Marine Corps Base Quantico, the result is always the same.

In the latest episode of “Reporter vs. Marine,” Ford Springer and Leah Jessen went up against two Marines in the Combat Fitness Test. They gave it their best, but as usual, it wasn’t enough. (Reporter vs. Marine: Combat Fitness Test)

“Reporter vs.” is a web series where TheDC puts its reporters into the shoes of professionals who face adversity that is unimaginable to a pencil pushing member of the fourth estate. At most news outlets, reporters might be afraid to try, and fail, at a new task. But not at TheDC. We have no problem filming our reporters’ fails and then broadcasting it to the rest of the world. If there is such a thing as blue collar journalism, it would probably look something like The Daily Caller’s “Reporter vs.” series.
