IIRC Veritas has a record of being factually correct if not always contextually correct. I have no idea if this is true or not, but good God can you imagine if it is? What the fallout would be? whoooboy!

It's the media's golden boy, there will be 0 fall out.

I'm more interested in the video that Veritas put out of the Florida gubernatorial candidate's worker making racial slurs and admitting that the candidate is lying about his campaign promises.

I was at a function with O’Keefe recently; he is damn serious about his work.  I appreciate his efforts in exposing a lot of liberals for who they really are.

Isn't that the group that does the deceptively creative editing that raises their work almost to the level of fiction?

No

This is what I was thinking as well.

You must be thinking of the nightly news, or 60 Minutes.

Since that could describe QQ's posting style and he's advocating for them, well...

LOL, not hard to imagine QO going to hear O'Keefe speak, and hanging on every word...

He does the exact same thing Sacha Baron Cohen does.  The only difference is Cohen's work is at least entertaining.

It really isn't.

Sacha Baron Cohen is obnoxious.

SBC’s show on showtime is amazing. 

I couldn’t stop laughing at the scene where he was pretending to be an ex-con 5-star chef.

It's gotcha reporting, and it's basically fraudulent.

Staff at businesses, and campaigns, are pretty much programmed to be agreeable and non-confrontational.  They will say just about anything to satisfy you so you move on and quit interrupting their work.  Then O'Keefe teases "smoking gun!", when it's only a low-level staffer talking out of their ass just to get rid of him.

I think the better comparison is probably Michael Moore.  I picture he and O'Keefe having drinks together, laughing at how rich they've gotten exploiting politards.

Agreed on this.  They are cut from the same cloth.  Gotcha Gotcha Gotcha

Grassley going after the false Kavanaugh accusers is great. Hope he continues. New one today that the terrible Kamala brought forward.

Didn't mean it isn't the same, meant he's not entertaining.

That's the standard line, but TBH I have yet to see him edit anything that significantly changes the message in the videos. It's still the same people bragging about doing the same stupid shit.  He also shares the raw footage for comparison. 

I have yet to see anyone in any of his vids looking like they were just trying to placate the interviewer so they could "get back to work." Everyone seems perfectly fine spouting off about their activities.

I don’t think he is saying most white men are a threat or are radicals, but rather there is an alarming trend of white males committing acts of terror which is pretty much true? The president has said the same thing about Muslims and Mexicans  in an even more inflammatory way many times. Not sure I see the difference here 

The fact that you are validating Lemon’s statement proves you have lost your mind. 

Also, Trumps comments were about illegals (not Mexicans) and about terrorist hub countries, not Muslims. Unless you can show direct quotes to prove me wrong?

Don Lemon meant what he said and for CNN and other media outlets to let it go is unreal.  He should be fired.

Interesting.  You have some special insight into his thoughts?  Do tell.

He has thoughts? In a field full of dumbasses, he comes across as quite the overachiever. Kind of like cc being a dullard even when compared with other jim teachers.
