"Nothing to see here!"
Be interesting to compare these clips to what goes on at CNN in Trump's first year.

For a few days, Project Veritas founder and conservative activist James O'Keefe has been hyping the release of what he said were hundreds of hours of undercover audio recordings of employees at CNN.
Some staffers at CNN were legitimately alarmed that O'Keefe would be releasing tapes that could be embarrassing for the network. O'Keefe is known for his undercover video recordings, though questions over deceptive editing and concerns about the questionable tactics used to obtain those recordings have plagued some of his prior work. Before releasing the tapes Thursday, O'Keefe was featured on The Drudge Report and on Sean Hannity's radio show, where he previewed their release.
Instead, what O'Keefe released on Thursday landed with a dull thud in the media world. Though not all the hours of tapes have been made available for review, and damning recordings could still come out, O'Keefe made clear the audio he obtained is from 2009 and for the most part features lower-level staffers at the network.

Well that’s it Trump is finished, Politico says so.

I agree. James really screwed the pooch on this one. I applaud him for his wonderful past work and bravery. He should get the Pulitzer Prize for exposing vote fraud alone. But this was an embarrassment. The tapes ars eight years old, audio only, very poor quality, and show a bunch of low-level staffers who nobody heard of talking about nothing.
Yeah ill have a burger but hold the meat cheese veggies and condiments. Oh and extra air please
What a pathetic joke. And ancient 2009 video.
I’m hoping this is a rope a dope.

That quote fits this situation perfectly.
Yeah, my impression too. Shouldn’t have made a big deal out of it when there doesn’t appear to be anything really nasty there.
If he hadn’t hyped it so much, and just come out and said he had hours of CNN footage from 2009, but no staff to review it....people may have then been ok with jumping in and giving a listen to some of it.
It’s the hype - very bad idea.
So the left isn’t complaining about “deceptively edited” video now??? Hmmm...waiting for other shoe to drop!!!!
It is now officially “old news.” The rest of the MSM will likely go along with it.
The MSM is no longer the news. They wish they were but wishing does not make it so.
It was intended to feed paranoia as much as anything else. Get the media in a place where they are shooting each other in the tent. Breaking down incestuous trust among the media elite.
He as much as invited the media to scour them because he probably has people talking smack about co-workers and management where racist and sexist dialog flowed freely and daily.
And if at CNN, who did O'Keefe have doing deep cover at CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc....? Imagine the new level of mistrust among the fake news backstabbers.
And who is to say he doesn't have more that he hasn't released?
I think it's delicious.
Appreciate the psyops factor.
It's not what's out there now, it's what may be out there later.
O'Keefe is brilliant.
FReegards!
His “nothing burgers” usually turn out to be huge news.
In early January, he taped an anarchist group planning riots and putting noxious odors in a downtown DC hotel. The Leftist held their meeting at the Ping Pong Pizza!!!
O’Keefe turned over his tapes to D.C. police, Secret Services, and the FBI. Three of the Ping Pong conspirators have been arrested, including a pedophile. Over two hundred Inaugural Day rioters were arrested that day on federal charges. Many of them are still in custody.
Project Veritas interviews with high-level Clinton campaign managers recruiting and paying rioters to assault Trump rally goers showed Trump’s followers were not the violent people, the demented Left was.
That was a big, big boost for Trump.
Project Veritas is going full Alinsky on the media - or something resembling it: Spreading traps around for the self-important, unsuspecting left to step into. Turning the tables on the "elites" in ways where their integrity, credibility, and the "Fake news" spewed from it are being questioned daily and doubted in ways they never have before .
What a shame few others on this thread seem to get it.
Project Veritas is writing the story line of a multi-faceted novel while a pack of grumpy kids looking for instant gratification around here can't lift their heads out of their coloring books.
FReegards!
