Investigative reporter James O’Keefe is admittedly a repeat offender. Over and over again he has committed old-fashioned gumshoe journalism. Worse, he has gone after targets grown fat, soft, and corrupt from years of media protection. In the process, O’Keefe has embarrassed the mainstream media and enraged their political allies. Now the whole lot of them wants his head.
To experience the media’s angst one only had to watch Anderson Cooper’s CNN panel discussion on the morning of the Las Vegas debate. The subject at hand was the Project Veritas video that showed Democratic operatives bragging about how they incited violence at Trump rallies. Although CNN felt compelled to report on the story -- five million people had already seen it -- Cooper and his colleagues were more disdainful of O’Keefe than they were of the two dirty tricksters already fired as a result of his video.

The MSM continually lie about O'Keefe. They try to discredit him. The media want to eliminate any honest reporting.
“60 minutes” became the number one show in its time slot with these tactics. And they were lauded when they caught some CEO with his pants down.
It is the M.O. of the Marxists. They need to control the perceptions of the masses (useful idiots) so they have to DESTROY anyone with the Truth. Truth was banned in the 60s (unconstitutionally) from the public square and public schools (so children could be easily indoctrinated into Satanism (like a Miley Cyrus).
You know the “good guys” by whom the Press vilifies. The “free press” has been controlled for 100 years. Prior to that you had an Ida Tarbell—brave, investigative journalists in the true sense, who would attack Standard Oil or other huge monopolies and expose their evil. But the Leftists bought up the small “free” agencies and only lost total control with the internet so we can get a James O. now. Sen. McCarthy was the End of Freedom of Speech (with no internet)——and a warning to ANYONE who DARED challenge the Marxists in power.
Can’t tell you how true the Bible is-—that Truth will set us Free. We are slaves when we fall for the Lies of the Left (and they know it and laugh-—they are satanists). Free Will can only be exercised when we know the facts, the truth. Free Will is being destroyed in our children since they are only given Lies and Misinformation in Common Kore——no Truth and NO Wisdom of the Ages (Western Civilization/Christianity)-—none. It was banned by John Dewey who was a communist/Humanist who forced moral relativism into the curricula so Christian Worldview would be erased (the ability to use Logic and Reason).
That’s funny. I didn’t hear the mainstream media hounding Woodward and Berstein when they did their investigative journalism concerning Watergate and the 15 minute tape. Now all that sounds minuscule compared to the Clinton and DNC fiasco.
One thing this election has done is proved the IN YOUR FACE corruption and Goebbels propaganda of the media.
The MSM protects ‘elites’ from accountability - ‘polite society’ thugs...
The press literally shoots the messenger. I am shocked I at these times
Aaron Klein is another of the rare breed of actual honest investigative journalists. He brings matters to the public eye that no one of the butt-licking Mainstream Media will touch in their water-carrying thrall to Hillary et al.
Agreed. Today’s ‘news’ media would place Woodward and Berstien in contempt the same way they are doing with O’Keefe, Drudge and Brebairt.
James O’Keefe is the real life “Fletch”!
The MSM was all about pointing fingers at the elites until the MSM became part of the elites.
The end of my movie comparisons.
Discredited? In my neck of the woods that’s called slander and/or libel. And is actionable. He ought to sue the expletives-deleted enemedia into penury.
Not so sure. Watergate brought down a GOP President, if Nixon was a Dem, may well have been different.
Today’s MSM media would hold Woodward Bernstein up as heroes. They were destroying a Republican. If Okeefe had stung Trump and had damaging videos Of Kellyanne Conway Okeefe would be the toast of the town. He would be preparing a place on his mantle for his Pulitzer.
The double standard has been in place a long time. If Nixon was a Dem, there is not doubt the press would have been leading the cover-up and Woodward and Bernstein would have either been marching in lockstep or trying to get jobs pumping gas or flipping burgers.
The only reason they met any resistance is because the story was such a nothing story, and their editors didn't want to waste their time with a story nobody would care about. It was a nothing story, but the constant drip made people think they should care.
Only Democrats can lie cheat and steel. Its why they appeal to all the radical criminals and or invaders.
