When purveyors of fake news meet real journalism

They fail miserably. Fecking Project Veritas up to its tricks again. Caught in their lies by WaPo.

Just finished reading that one. James O'Keefe and his merry band of rodent fornicators got caught with their pants down.

That's what passes for responsible investigative journalism in today's conservative circles.

Stupid O'Keefe thinks the Post people would trip over themselves to sling fake dirt, like he would.

I can't keep up with the frustration industry. Hopefully the people that finance it are tiring of it too.

Even rednecks know when they have built too hot a fire. I can't imagine that businessmen are dumber than rednecks.

It gets better. Guess who funded Project Veritas, the organization that makes up FAKE rape in order to discredit actual rape?

Donald. Trump.

His charity gave them $10,000 in 2015.

Why am I not surprised that Trump gave money to that scumbag, O'Keefe.

Let's hope Project Veritas (how Trumpian: fake news named after the goddess of Truth) gets sued out of existence this time.

'James O’Keefe tweeted about his 'confrontation' with a Post reporter. Here’s what really happened.'

"The Washington Post on Monday published a report about a woman who falsely claimed****Roy Moore sexually assaulted her as a teenager — and who appeared to work with Project Veritas, an organization that uses deceptive tactics and secretly recorded conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.
Shortly after the investigation was published, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe tweeted a video of****what he called his “confrontation” with one of the authors of The Post investigation, Aaron C. Davis. The video was heavily edited, a tactic for which Project Veritas has drawn criticism.

The Post filmed the entire encounter." WaPo

Oops. (grin)

A highly edited video, trademark Veritas nonsense. WaPo has the full event. Pretty obvious to anyone except Trump idiots whose version is "Veritas".
