Right wing investigator who plotted against WaPo wrecks himself.

Is crandar so threatened by project veritas that he needs to create a thread that amplifies an attempt to make scandal an action that would be heroic if inept were they taken by a regulatory body?

Are you so threatened by the potential challenge to an ideological narrative that you need to further shift the focus to the alledged ill intent of the sole dissenting voice?

I suspect all three questions have a single answer that is sufficiently insultint, alienating and character assassinating, as has become the norm on this board.

So you admit that your attempt of character assassination on the entire WaPo staff was a bad idea?

Well, they are after all....you know....journalists

At times, I think "necessary" is a better word.

It's like one....vaguely.

But would I want my daughter to marry one?

What bugs you about journalists?

It's hard to argue without any actual arguments.

I'm an (American definition) right winger. With the exception of Fox news and the bloviaters of talk radio, the news media in my country is largely and endless low key persuasive effort favoring the intrusive government approach that I have disagreed with more or less my entire life. I am always a little skeptical where journalists are concerned.

I admit to playing it up a bit for the humor value.

If a government body did the same thing, it would be a textbook example of entrapment and nobody would cheer them on, even if the plot worked. Because the perpetrators would walk free.

Journalists, left and right, have labeled what O'Keefe does for a living as unethical. And that's just the way he collects his facts - with the way he presents them he does not deserve to be called a journalist himself.

If you feel uncomfortable with the way we're slamming O'Keefe (and you clearly are) then maybe you should stop acting as an apologist for people like him.

Project Veritas are all hack-frauds, and not in an endearing way.
