So they tried to plant a story in a newspaper but got found out. Edited videos in order to deceive people and got found out. Broke into a politicians office and got caught and arrested. Tried to seduce a TV reporter with the hope of filming it.That O'Keefe guy doesn't exactly do himself any favours, does he?
Is this the same group who edited a video to make it appear that Planned Parenthood was selling "baby parts" on the black market?

Same guy.
Not that he proved jack, but it would not surprise me if at least some centers had black market ties, given how stem cells are worth a lot of money to Big Pharma.

Since then, it's been revealed they're not above selectively editing their videos.
I'm not sure I trust them entirely. On the other hand, you get the occasional sound bite that no amount of context could justify.
What I get from this, is that the media industry is a VERY dirty business, and O'Keefe is probably as dirty as any of them.
This is worrysome, since ideally, you want the people you side with to police their own at best. Or you want an unbiased watchdog group with the integrity, clout, and connections to keep everyone honest, at worst.
Seems we have neither of those.
I'm mixed. They are agenda ridden, for sure. They doctor their vids and content to fit their agenda.
They try to show us stuff going on that we might not be able to see but you can't trust any of it. If you're so shitty that a reasonable person has to double check your "facts" before believing them, perhaps it is time to get rid of the company and start fresh.

The irony is one of their "stings" involved seeing if a news outlet published unsubstantiated stories without checking into the source first. The story they tried to plant ended up being rejected by the WaPo because they checked it first. Then PV end up not only publishing unverified stories, but actively try to falsify the allegations first before publishing.
I'm not a fan of Project Veritas, my first exposure was their videos on the Abortion clinics, with the claim that fetuses were callously sold for profit, however their videos were clearly doctored and taken out of context. I think their work is effective for some policy that Republicans want to enact, as it gets people riled up rather well. Some may consider that fair play partisan tactic, from my POV their work crosses a line into the unethical.
Interesting there is an in-depth discussion of James O'Keefe and Project Veritas by a youtuber that came out a few days ago.
It's very long, but if one has time it might be worth a watch.
