I am not sure how anyone can believe O'Keefe at this point. I don't a crap what side of the aisle you reside on but his videos are edited and doctored in a way to fit his narrative and the narrative of his supporters. I would take everything he reports on with a very small grain of salt.
Everyone does that, why do you hold O'Keefe to a higher set of standards? Again, when people complain about his "lying" they refer to his methods, not the content. When they refer to his editing, they don't show complete disproving of what he is recording, they try to to "explain" what is actually happening.
Investigative reporting such as this is messy, ugly, and is needed. If only our mainstream media would do its job.
O'Keefe isn't being held to a higher standard, at least by me he isn't. I hold him and all the others in journalism to the exact same standard. Maybe others do not but I can't speak for them or anyone else. He doesn't get a pass anymore then NBC's editing of Zimmerman's tapes. This shouldn't be about politics, or the usual my side vs. your side type jazz, this should about journalistic integrity and honesty . O'Keefe has shown on numerous occasion that he is not interested in neither and therefore should not be trusted.
I do agree though, our media as consistently failed to do it's job over and over again because they are more interested in turning a profit.
