What’s “disinformation” about hundreds of hours of audio recordings? Left-wingers use ad hominem attacks when they have been crushed.

If you are too dumb to understand how editing works I can't help you.

The group uses deception.

Do you purposely want to be deceived?

They've been sued 12 times for those claims. Haven't lost a case yet. Editing is a part of the process and their editing didn't change the context at all...proven in court 12 times. So just go ahead and keep wishing.

Sued for libel.

They admitted in the cases that the information they published was incorrect and false. They then asked the prosecution to prove that they knew that before publishing.

The cases are dropped on intent.

Meaning they publish fake news, but proving they do it on purpose is difficult.

I love it! You use a fake news organization, meaning the NYT, to claim that another organization is a "disinformation organization."

Entirely circular, and of course, pure bullshit.

How many do you need?

Oh right, you think ALL media is fake news. How silly of me.

I'll just leave these here for sane people.

Most of that is citogenesis in action rather than six citations. What you have is one failed sting, one story claimed to be false without evidence that it is false, and no evidence that Project Veritas publishes fake news.

No, all the media are not fake news. I never said that. Sure, there are a lot of so called journalists who feel it is their job to tell the public what to think. I find them easy to spot, but you... apparently not so much.

The bottom line is you cannot discredit my point by making an extreme, irrelevant point like that. Your tactics are quite clear and ineffective.

As for Project Veritas, even you should be able to imagine that they are a target of many kinds of media, not just liberal media. And I'm sure that some of what they have done is questionable due to their agenda, and should be investigated by serious journalists. I'm not sure the Guardian qualifies, but you seem to give them credence.

I treat Project Veritas like I do any other purveyor of information, be it the New York Times, CNN, FOX News, Washington Post, NewsMax, etc., etc., meaning I don't instantly believe any of what they say without checking into it. You don't strike me as having that same philosophy.

What we can say for sure about Project Veritas, is that in many cases they release an entire video or audio, and what was said cannot be denied. I haven't heard all that they've released regarding CNN, but it doesn't take a serious journalist to see that what's been reported that Zucker has said is more likely true than not, and the context is clear. All you have to do is watch their network for a half hour or so at random times to see that they have a transparent agenda, and that agenda is not reporting the news objectively.

It's a common lie. For example the article to listed is only supports that PV did a good job at promoting the video, it then frames that as nefarious and you fell for the fake news. No evidence is presented that the video is false or disinformation at all.

""The video contains footage of a man, identified as Liban Mohamed, showing off ballots he says he has collected for a Minneapolis City Council candidate — something that, depending on when the video was filmed, may not have been illegal, because a district court judge in July temporarily suspended Minnesota’s ban on third parties collecting and returning large numbers of completed ballots. Mr. Mohamed was not working for Ms. Omar.""

The video claims Liban Mohamed works for Ms. Omar, he does not. The video claims that what Mohamed was doing was illegal, it was not.

Either you didn't read for comprehension, or you are being obtuse.

"may not have been illegal" You're own source calls BS on your claim of sureness.
" Mr. Mohamed was not working for Ms. Omar." Says without evidence.
