Quick question.
Based on what you posted (which others would dispute the way you characterize it), does that automatically mean anything he and/or his organization come out with is completely untrue?

He is not that well known publicly, but rest assured he is known about in both conservative and liberal circles. Naturally he is revered in conservative ones, and reviled in liberal ones.

As a matter of fact many a leftist organization is on alert to not speak candidly to anyone (not part of their inner sanctum) for fear of their true agendas being exposed.
Funny how investigative journalism use to be defended by the left. Now when their dirty laundry is exposed, they deride it, regardless of whether it has valid content.

Trouble is you cannot compromise your principles just because a story casts your own ideology in a negative light.
A perfect example of the hypocrisy is how the left only loves investigative journalists when they expose Republican/conservative wrongdoing, yet dismisses and even tries to ruin those exposing Democratic/liberal wrongdoing.

One needs look no further than Sharyl Attkisson, formerly of CBS.
She was a media darling, winning awards and the toast of the left.
However when she started to expose corruption/wrongdoing of Obama & Co, her support at the network disappeared.
Her career was eventually stymied to the point of her leaving CBS.

But don't take my word for it, just read her book;

https://books.google.com/books?id=pG...kisson&f=false


While I do not put O'Keefe in the same class of Attkisson, few journalists are willing to do a deep dive into the leftist corruption (especially politicians) for fear of paying a price.

The left use to portray the right as the evil boogeymen who would destroy people lives who dared to expose them.
Yet the left has proved they must have been projecting what they would do if ever in power, as now that the shoes is on the other foot, they are even worse than what they claimed the right was all about.

How would you characterize O'Keefe dressing up as an employee of the telephone company and lying his way into her office by pretending he was there to repair the phone system, when he was really there for more nefarious reasons?

What it tells us is that he and his organization are criminals. Enough said.

O'Keefe...

The wingnut who secretly records folks, then edits the recordings to fit his conservo agenda.


He has been criticized for selectively editing videos to misrepresent the context of the conversations and the subjects' responses, creating the false impression that people said or did things they did not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%27Keefe

Not even fake news. Made up propaganda.

Trumplings will eagerly gobble down whatever lies he serves up.

Interesting, so all the various shows like 60 Minutes, 20/20, and plenty of local investigative reporting shows that do similar things are criminals?

Not only did you try to answer a question with a question, you completely failed to even come close to answering my simple question.
Failure to do so will say all one needs to know.

Criticized by whom, as Wiki and that other link are hardly credible sources.

Seems to me a lot of effort is going into leftist posters trying to discredit the message because of the messenger.
Even if O'Keefe is as bad or worse than what is implied by you'll, how about expressing a view of the claim about CNN, rather than deflecting?

Deflecting from reality is precisely O'Keefe's tactic.

Feel free to swallow his baloney.

Don't have high expectations for others to do the same.

That'll simply lead to disappointment.

When you hate the truth you attack the source.
