Project Veritas, video up now.

youtu.be...


This is sad, in that no matter what side you are on left, right, do we really need news/media with ideas like this. I really don’t understand how a network can stay afloat with the kind of hate!

And regardless of whether you like or dislike Project Veritas, this is crazy, How can we as Americans stand for such bias.

I expect a lot of negative responses to this post. It truly is an eye-opener.

Thank you.

Just watched part 1.
Kinda just re-enforced what I was pretty sure I knew.
Nothing too spectacular, but it should count as proof to the obvious claims of bias.
I'm more concerned about the legal ramifications of recording your co-workers for months without consent.

New York wasn't listed as a "2 party consent" state on the legal site I checked, so if that is correct Veritas is in the clear.

Holy crap.. that heat is on now.

I think this took place in DC. I could be wrong though. Either way CNN makes me sick as does all news agencies.
But him only being with CNN for two years makes me think he was a plant.

a reply to: seeker1963

Right,
Does that cover private property, though?
It was my understanding that the two-party consent rule only applies in public, and its up to the private property's owner if recording is legal.

Funny thing, now that I think about it..
In a newsroom, there is likely a general understanding or agreement that you might be caught on camera throughout your regular work day. Probably even signs that 'warn' employees about it.

Who knows... I hope he doesn't get in trouble. He's already likely going to loose friends.

Agreed, CNN house of cards needs to be knocked down...

Of course he was a plant in that he went under cover to expose corruption in the media. Not sure what labeling him as a plant has to do with the recorded evidence of corruption in the media though....

I was completely underwhelmed by this video.

To me nothing shown was in the least bit surprising. Quite frankly I feel you have to be completely out of touch to not know this is how the media works today.

So nobody remembers this ?

This was recorded at the Washington DC bureau though - at least that is where he said he worked.

Whatever you want to call him, he was in deep enough to record Zucker's phone calls. Not bad.

How so?

A. Who is going to see this video who does not already highly suspect this is what goes on at CNN? The rest of the left leaning media is not going to cover this.

B. What are they going to do about it? Not watch CNN - they aren't watching already.

Could have been, I thought it was done in NY. Either way, I respect the guy for putting him and his family in jeopardy so that we know the truth of these multi national corporations.


Like that wonderful Congresswoman from Minnesota quoted, "It's all about the Benjamins".

Me, as well...but someone has to shine a light on this situation, We need to be able to watch an unbiased factful news program...I can dream, can't I?

More bad editing from the habitual crank. Good job only dense idiots would believe it.
If that's the best he could edit for your propaganda needs, there wasn't much to work with was there?
Simple things please simple folks as the saying goes.

This is the week Republicans are supposed to hand over evidence or face obstruction charges, im sure o'keefe will claim his poor editing was due to timing constraints.

a reply to: laughingdog

They're biased. Oh my like we didn't already know that.
But veritas? Pot meet kettle, throwing stones in a glass house, don't tell me it raining while pissing on my back. All of those things come to mind when thinking about Veritas making accusations. They are very... creative with their editing and we all know it.

I am not sticking up for CNN, but the message would hold so much more weight if it was from a group that was credible.

Aaaaaand right on cue you appear, try to derail the thread, change the discussion and STILL manage to say nothing at all. It's an art form.

Editing is used in every single media production, all of them. You're acting as though people are edited mid sentence, which you know is a proper bad lie.... Pack it in mate, you keep coming across as really desperate.
