Funny how O’Keefe is a “discredited” reporter, yet people continue to get fired virtually every time he releases a new video.
I just don’t see those people fighting back against the allegations made (from...their...own...words).
Ya gotta admit, O’Keefe is taking scalps which is more than ANY of his “real” journalist detractors can say. Of course, the rodents he is scalping continue to slither off into their dark corners and survive to come back again so he is not succeeding in actually taking them down. But he sure is shining some disinfecting light into a number of pus filled dark corners.
EXACTLY what I was thinking, alancarp!
After years of hearings by the Republicans on Benghazi and the IRS, who exactly got fired? No one.
O'Keefe posts a video, and THE VERY NEXT DAY someone gets fired.
How do you fight your own words?!?
I guess you can say you were just shooting off at the hip to impress some new person, but there’s too much detail for that to work.

Those of us who have been around for a few decades have seen this all before!
A U.S. Congressman waves a sheaf of papers on the House floor declaring over a 100 miscreants working in the employ of the U.S. government. They ALL quietly resign to avoid hearings.
Today, it is the Congressman who we "know" as the bad guy: Joe McCarthy. The miscreants were members of Communist cells working within the U.S. government.
McCarthy used the stunt of calling them out publicly because the public had been subjected to a massive propaganda campaign of how nice "Uncle Joe" Stalin was so that the Lend Lease program could be sold to the public. The campaign was conducted by the U.S. government towards the end of the hostilities in Europe. [Lend Lease, which armed the Soviets and enabled them to fight on the eastern front, was probably a good move. But Stalin was clearly oversold.] McCarthy had to remind people who the enemy were. This was especially true since Roosevelt had allowed Communist agents, like Alger Hiss, to assume very high positions.
But it's all just conservative lies, talking points, partisan witch hunts, and smear campaigns. /s
O’Keefe is “discredited” because he pled guilty to a having taped the image and voice of an Acorn guy a few election cycles ago without his consent, which is a misdemeanor in California.
But NBC is not “discredited” for having violated California statutes by surreptitiously taping Trump being egged on to talk dirty about women 10 years ago (which was prior to O’Keefe’s actions).
The mainstream media has played the Trump tape over and over and over and over and over and over, edited for maximum shock value, safe in the knowledge that no charges will be filed against them because, after all, Trump is a “public figure.”
But the media won’t touch O’Keefe’s latest videos because he is a “discredited” criminal who “edits” his material to make his subjects say stuff they didn’t honestly mean about things they haven’t actually done to influence events that never truly happened.
And Creamer and Fovel haven’t actually been fired. They’ve just “stepped back.”
