mashable.com/2017/11/27/project-veritas-washington-post/#9IBbhs4Icgqtcould not happen to a more vile dirtbag. journalism = 1 cretinous jackass = 0 Project Veritas, you just played yourself.
The group, founded by conservative "guerrilla journalist" James O’Keefe, tried to expose the Washington Post but ended up looking pretty dumb in the end.
It all started when a woman approached the Post with a story. She said that when she was 15 years old, she'd been impregnated by Roy Moore, the Alabama senate candidate who has been accused of sexually harassing and assaulting teenage girls.

But when the Washington Post fact-checked her story, it didn't add up — and then they watched her walk into the New York offices of Project Veritas. The "sting" was supposed to expose, I don't know, some liberal conspiracy against Moore. Instead it showed just how professional and thorough the Washington Post is when it comes to checking facts.
The story was met with delight online. how long will this criminal fraudster continue to be taken seriously?

I think he was paid by a conservative to do this. He wants to be outed on this one. This is Project Veritas "proving" the allegations against Moore aren't true, because *RW think mode* you find one example of it not being true, therefore this must translate to all Moore accusers lying. My gut says this is what Project Veritas wanted to happen. Its close to the election. They are playing to the RW crowd who will vote. Not you or I.

Not you or I. maybe. or maybe he is just a vicious animal that should probably be tranquilized and caged.

it's not just the fact based media he goes after. it is all kinds of organizations and people he disagrees with. and he uses utterly loathsome and illegal means of doing it. which is why he is a convicted felon. as Slate points out, it won't hurt him. like other heroes of the right, it doesn't matter how foul he is. he's their guy. they will worship him. kinda sickening.
