Per “Is it down right now” Twitter is down for everyone. I was able to get reddit (Donald Trump subreddit), but it doesn’t look “normal” ... something is going on there. I checked my settings & tried to load it again & now it’s even worse - formatting is all off.

O’Keefe website is still up. Enemedia now reporting that Trump Foundation paid Project Veritas in May 2015 (on list of folks they gave money to - 10K). They’re hitting up Breitbart, too - platform for the videos & Bannon is Trump’s campaign CEO. Personally, I think the damage is done & this disclosure won’t “fix” it ..... big difference between supporting a filmmaker (as part of a long list of folks you donate to) BEFORE you announce for president and paying people to commit violence against your opponent while you are running for president.

So the Mediascum can’t be bothered to investigate or report on the actual promotion of violence and voter fraud uncovered in the vids, but they are eager churnalists when Media Matters provides them with info on Trump Foundation support of O’Keefe.

Yup, no bias there, media scumbags. The NEWS is what was revealed in the vids. The Trump Foundation support of Project Veritas is just trivial background noise.

O'Keefe has produced numerous videos that have attempted to take down members of the media, Democrats or progressives. He led the videos during the 2008 election of progressive group ACORN, attempted to show that Planned Parenthood sold aborted fetuses, and tried to show that a career employee at the Department of Agriculture, Shirley Sherrod, an African American, was racist.

Breitbart is the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. The former head of Breitbart, Steve Bannon, is the CEO of Trump's campaign.

Why do they insist that O'Keefe did those videos on planned parenthood. They were not the videos he did. The videos he did were having a girl claim she was a 15 Y.O. who had been impregnated by a 23 Y.O. male. He also did a video about being a donor that had racial overtones about it. He either wanted his donations to only be used for minority women, or vice versa, I just do not remember which it is now.

A donation, which is what they cite, is not the same as employing them. A side note NBC puts a disclaimer that they have not corroborated the video, yet still produce a hit piece nonetheless. I guess the firing of one person caught on tape, and a second resigning are irrelevant to them.

Lastly, Breitbart is not the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. They are merely another site that gives recognition to them. Where Steve Bannon was working before he started working for Trump means nothing. Especially given the realities that they ignore all connections to various organizations, political PACS, and the Democrat Party, and are summarily dismissed as big nothing burgers.
