Since the “behavior” exhibited is shown only through the crafted lens of O’Keefe’s camera, there’s no telling if it’s correct or not. Just like the undercover videos of Planned Parenthood selling embryonic tissue; it had righties outraged and believing itwas criminal behavior because that was how the videos were crafted. But subsequent investigations concluded there was actually no wrongdoing on Planned Parenthood’s part.
Project Veritas, meanwhile, has been caught manufacturing their own narratives as though they’re exposes. Anyone who accepts their highly deceptive videos out of hand is an idiot.
And other investigative media doesn't try to frame their own narratives?
Methinks this is another case of "It's only OK when we do it" by progressives.
Project Veritas has been caught staging their own scandals that they then capture on video. They have no credibility. Does that mean their target is innocent? Who knows? Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. As is always the case with Project Veritas and their friends who pull similar stunts, we don’t know based solely on their highly edited and crafted exposes.
So just ignore it because what they find ruins your own narrative.
Got it.
I don’t purport to be a journalist. But I am highly selective of the journalists I trust. Sources like O’Keefe, Loomer, Huffington, gatewaypundit, dailykos, et al., are untrustworthy and have established themselves as such. Only fools accept their brand of journalism because they know such “journalists” will deliver the message they want to hear.
Or maybe you read or watch with the knowledge of the sources bias, and maybe shifty methods of getting the information or getting it out.
There is nothing wrong with being partisan or producing propaganda, the problem comes when it is misrepresented as "neutral, fair, balanced" etc.
Nothing wrong with taking sides, plenty wrong with claiming you have not taken a side.
And that is what the MSM doesn't get about people's mistrust of it.
