James O'Keefe Fails Yet Again ...

[vlad_hombre]

What a bumbling idiot ...

For a few days, Project Veritas founder and conservative activist James O’Keefe has been hyping the release of what he said where hundreds of hours of undercover audio recordings of employees at CNN.. Before releasing the tapes Thursday, O’Keefe was featured on The Drudge Report and on Sean Hannity’s radio show, where he previewed their release.

Instead, what O’Keefe released on Thursday landed with a dud in the media world… What got the most attention on social media though was the unusual highlighting of a well-known journalism quote about how journalism is about ‘aiding the afflicted and afflicting the comforted.’ But Project Veritas portrayed the situation as Richard Griffiths, now Vice President and Senior Editorial Director, being “caught explaining” the role of a journalist.

Here is Griffiths’ quote, as ‘caught’ by Project Veritas:

“If we are journalists, what is our role as a journalist? What is the fundamental role as a journalist, for us to do? Tell a story. Tell what’s going on. There’s a secondary corollary to that, right? Aid the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. To a degree, right? Is that not part of the traditional role of a journalist. It’s actually one of the things I can be most proud of as a journalist. You know we try to show the ugly side of humanity so we can do something about it. It’s hard, very hard.”

O’Keefe suggested in a video that CNN is now working on afflicting President Donald Trump. The phrase “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable,” though sometimes attributed to H.L. Mencken, is best known for its use in the 1960 film “Inherit The Wind.”

Yes, due to Democrat cowardice and Republican cynicism, with the use of deceptively edited videos, he was successful in defunding an organization that helped poor people.

Congratulations.

That is the overall aim of the corporate state, redirect all societal wealth and public funding into private corporate and Wall Street hands. Why do you think that no matter who "the people" elect, you always get Goldman Sachs.

Sure, ACORN was a patently sleazy organization run by sleazy people doing the sleaziest of things. Very much like the DNC, but funded by taxpayers.

I never understand this stuff. If you're going to "announce" something and infer that it's important, uh, it probably should be.

Otherwise you look like a big ol' goofball. Nationally. From coast to coast. And beyond.

And people just keep doing it.

"Aid the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"? Sounds pretty good to low information lefties but who gets to judge the "afflicted" or the "comfortable"? Clearly it's an excuse for "journalists" to take sides instead of reporting the truth. O'Keefe should be commended.
