Project Veritas Staffers Tell Board: Quit or We Walk! (2 Sources Confirm)
GP ^ | 02/21/23 | Jim Hoft

Yesterday, James O’Keefe was fired by the board of the media organization he founded 13 years ago. He gave a 45 minute going away speech yesterday to staff.

Today, the reporters who are loyal to O’Keefe have told the board that unless they resign today, they are all quitting as a bloc.

This matches the loss of nearly 100,000 followers of PV on Twitter in one day. According to one PV insider about the current Project Veritas board member Matt Tyrmand: “Tyrmand is in full panic mode. We’re all about to walk out after an emergency board meeting tomorrow unless they all resign. All the real journalists here are out and they won’t have anyone left to do the real work that made this place great.”

 

Project Veritas has repeatedly released amazing undercover journalism exclusives, including major reporting on sacred left-wing institutions such as ACORN, National Public Radio, Hillary Clinton, Teacher Unions, Planned Parenthood, Jeffrey Epstein, 2020 Voter Fraud, and more. O’Keefe’s leadership of Project Veritas has resulted in a great deal of news being reported that otherwise would never have come out.

And this is the downside of having independent members on a board. It’s good in theory to promote responsible corporate governance, but quite often it becomes a vehicle for outsiders to control, twist, and destroy companies. Look at how Apple very nearly destroyed itself in the late 80s/early 90s after they made the stupendously idiotic decision to push out Steve Jobs. John Sculley was the epitome of an unimaginative corporate drone, and he and the board came within an eyelash of destroying Apple. Only bringing Jobs back in 1996 saved them (and propelled Apple to stratospheric heights in comparison).

And today look at how these boards have infected nearly every major company with wokeness. I understand the value of independent board members, but I also think every member of the board should have some skin in the game. We’ve also seen unending examples of how plum board seats have become nothing less than political payoffs, making the addition of outsiders to a board simply a vehicle for corruption.

I think we need a new corporate governance model, on a number of fronts.

Bannon covered this the first day off as the 5pm lead off story.

Funny that Tyrmand was never mentioned.

I was thinking the same thing. Watched Bannon and he was hot!

Methinks the “board” is busy secretly cooperating with the DOJ, O’Keefe will be frogmarched live on CNN before the week is out.

What the heck is wrong with Matt Tyrmand?

Sundance says Matt Tyrmand is a DeSantis operative. TBD if that's true.

That is exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if Bannon will mention Tyrmand's part in this.

Bannon was on the Charlie Kirk show today and he said that Tyrmand will no longer appear on his War Room show.

So it seems like Matthew Tyrmand did the dirty deed. he has since been kicked out of the NY Young Republican Club, and I’ll just bet he screams ANTI-SEMITISM!

“How odd that Tyrmand hasn’t been in Bannon’s Warroom”

Bannon was VERY clear today that Tyrmand NEVER will be on War Room again.

“he’s one of the instigators “

All reports are that he’s the “ringleader”.

And you’ll never see him on War Room again.
