O'keefe has a history of taking things out of context and deceptively editing his videos. He's been sued, and lost, for it.

You can't win them all. I don't think it would be too easy to take out of context a statement about how stories about Trump colluding with Russia are "bullshit" done for ratings.
ABE: I find stories on Google about them being sued but haven't seen one about how they lost the case. Anyway, it's about how they go about being undercover for their exposes rather than taking things out of tontext. This is espionage so of course they lie to get close to the people they want to expose. That could be illegal depending on how you do it, but I haven't found anything yet about them being sued about the content of an expose. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The AG's report confirmed that ACORN employee Juan Carlos Vera, shown in O'Keefe's video as apparently aiding a human smuggling proposal, had immediately reported his encounter with the couple to a Mexican police detective at the time to thwart their plan. Following the AG's report, that employee, who had been fired by ACORN after the video's release, sued O'Keefe and Giles in 2010. He alleged invasion of privacy and cited a California law that prohibits recordings without consent of all parties involved.[57] ...On March 5, 2013, O'Keefe agreed to pay $100,000 to former California ACORN employee Juan Carlos Vera for deliberately misrepresenting Mr. Vera's actions,...

The California Attorney General's Office granted O'Keefe and Giles limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for providing the full, unedited videotapes related to ACORN offices in California.[17] The AG's Report was released on April 1, 2010, concluding that the videos from ACORN offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino had been "severely edited."[17] The report found there was no evidence of criminal conduct on the part of ACORN employees nor any evidence that any employee intended to aid or abet criminal conduct. It found that three employees had tried to deflect the couple's plans, told them ACORN could not offer them help on the grounds they wanted, and otherwise dealt with them appropriately. Such context was not reflected in O'Keefe's edited tapes. The AG's Report noted that "O'Keefe stated that he was out to make a point and to damage ACORN and therefore did not act as a journalist objectively reporting a story". And of course his organization tried to incite violence
On January 9, 2017, Project Veritas operative Allison Maass was filmed attempting to bribe members of Americans Take Action into inciting a riot at Trump's inauguration.[103][104] It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

If true that's pretty underhanded of them. They're doing basically what they want to expose in others. Too bad to resort to such tactics, especially when if they were just patient they'd probably get the evidence they were looking for anyway. There's probably more to the story still, though.

No it was the Project Veritas expose of a CNN executive saying that the Russia collusion stories are all fake, for ratings. Project Veritas is proven liar James O'Keefe. So Chiroptera was right and you are ignorant. One CNN producer (not executive) totally unconnected to the hard news part of the organization (he produces medical stories with Sanjay Gupta and some others) appears to have said he thinks the Russia thing may be BS. We don't know whether or not he really said that; O'Keefe is famous for intentionally misrepresenting people by scurrilous edits in his videos. But even if the guy did say that, what reason do we have to think he knows anything on the subject? Chiroptera was also right about what CNN did. They retracted one peripheral story and fired three people. The vast majority of the evidence remains.

The CNN guy says it right out on camera, himself, nobody else. As I said above, O'Keefe is famous for editing to make it appear that people said something they really didn't. Such as showing a question and then the answer to a different question. Also see especially the last sentence of the last quote: Questions Raised About O'Keefe's Editing Of NPR Sting Video : The Two-Way : NPR:

I find stories on Google about them being sued but haven't seen one about how they lost the case. He settled with an ACORN employee for $100,000. See above. I don't know about the others.
Anyway, it's about how they go about being undercover for their exposes rather than taking things out of context. No, It's about how they lie and take things out of context.
but I haven't found anything yet about them being sued about the content of an expose. Didn't look very hard, did you? See settlement above. O'Keefe facing $1 million lawsuit over video sting against Democrats is all over the news. A Texas grand jury was formed to investigate Planned Parenthood after his famous videos of them. They wound up exonerating Planned Parenthood and indicting O'Keefe and an accomplice. The criminal case was dismissed on a technicality; Texas law limited the scope of the investigation.

So Chiroptera was right and you are ignorant. To be fair, I'm kind of one of the ignorant ones here. I thought that a single news story was being misrepresented. I didn't realize that O'keefe was pissing in the drinking water again and that is what people are talking about.

There are a lot of rightwing sources that need to explain all this.

Why didn't they mention O'Keefe's past as significant in evaluating his current work?
Can you honestly think about hat question and what its answer says about your source? Care to bet that none of your favorite sources will ever run this kind of information? Some more from What the latest James O’Keefe video intentionally leaves out: O'Keefe is an admitted and convicted felon:
quote: He's attempted a pretty sleazy sex sting, from the same source:
quote: From the same source, a critique of his CNN producer video:
quote: And to illustrate how pathetic he really is, Fox News Host Isn't Amused By O'Keefe's Osama Bin Laden Border Crossing Stunt. He waded across the Rio Grande in an Osama Bin Laden mask to illustrate how easily terrorists could get in, not mentioning the several obstacles he would have to surmount to actually get past the border.

O Keefe must be working for the Democrats then since there is no doubt that the MSM stories about Russia collusion are all fake.

O'Keefe is working for the ultra-right-wingers. Such as you.
Mistakes get made once in a while. The real media acknowledges the errors and fixes them. Your pals don't. Your lack of doubt does not affect the reality that the Russian investigation is justified and necessary. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.
