It’s called investigative journalism.

You are talking about the NYT exposure of that group and Amway scion Erik Prince, right?

“It’s called investigative journalism.”
See, there’s your problem. It obviously is not. Just more conservative “ratfucking.” Since they obviously cannot win in that “marketplace of ideas” that you are so fond of, they resort to things like this. All the time.

Project Veritas. Wasn’t that the organization that edited taped conversations to make it look like Democrats were busing in immigrants from nearby states and paying them to vote.
Turned out to be bogus.
And didn’t they also make it look as if Planned Parenthood was slicing and dicing fetuses and selling them for spare parts.
Again, bogus.
Oh, that Project Veritas.
It should be Project Mendacity.

I don’t remember one about busing immigrants, so I can’t comment on that, but Planned Parenthood was selling fetal organs recovered form abortions for research purposes, not spare parts.
But it is not the questionable episodes that upset you, it is the scores of 100% accurate ones that sting.

The abortion tapes were so doctored that Project Veritas was charged with a load of felonies. Illegal taping was just part of it. Fraud was another.
PP was both legally and with patient consent donating organs and tissues to research.
Veritas need.

Here is an extensive Wikipedia history of that tape.

Another on DNC teaching illegal voting”. There is so much wrong with this setup, you can read it yourself.

The video sting you cite was not by Project Veritas but by two activists associated with Turning Point.

I stand corrected. I guess it was the observation that the video was the same tactic as Veritas.
Birds of a feather…

“Planned Parenthood was selling fetal organs”
Thanks for the example of how easy it is for gaslighting to work on empty but eager minds.
