James O’Keefe: ‘This Is the Year That We End Fake News’
Breitbart ^ | Penny Starr

Posted on 07/02/2017 9:20:05 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, said on Saturday that he hopes this year will spell the end of media organizations that produce fake news.

O’Keefe has documented the fake news phenomenon with the recent release of a video showing a producer at CNN admitting that there is no evidence to support the ongoing reporting on President Donald Trump and his alleged ties to the Russians during his presidential campaign.

“I think this is the year that we end fake news,” O’Keefe told Raheem Kassam, Editor in Chief of Breitbart London on Breitbart News Saturday, Sirius XM radio.

Last week, Project Veritas released undercover video that showed a CNN producer admitting that the coverage the cable network produces is not backed by facts.

CNN Producer John Bonifield said on video O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released on Tuesday, when asked about his thoughts on the Russia investigation:

Could be bullshit. I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now. Like, we don’t have any giant proof. Then they say, well there’s still an investigation going on. And you’re like, yeah, I don’t know. If they were finding something we would know about it. The way these leaks happen, they would leak it. They’d leak. If it was something really good, it would leak…. The leaks keep leaking and there’s so many great leaks, and it’s amazing. I just refuse to believe that if they had something really good like that that wouldn’t leak because we’ve been getting all these other leaks. So, I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the president is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun. You have no real proof.

He's right, sure.

But he was right FROM THE VERY BEGINNING:

In order to fully expose both the dishonesty and the CRIMES of the US media, we need a media entity that is not afraid to air the truth. At this point we do not have that. Everything the masses get is through the MSM filter, and they filter out any stories/facts that reveal who they are. Donald can tweet to bring attention to things, but deep presentation of hard-hitting facts has to be done by a different platform that DJT can refer to.

There is a story of media-government collusion in crimes with real harm to real people, which would expose just how corrupt the whole system is. It’s been investigated, it’s been confirmed by insiders, it involves actionable crimes. But we have not been able to reach anybody who is willing to report it.

As long as this is the case, nothing with the media will change. People who have no time or inclination to do their own research will just keep on believing what is reported and keep thinking that if there was a big story the media would surely race to be the first to report it. The people will continue to be complacent when there is no clear trumpet alerting them to the truth.

Agree with your point - America needs a media source to connect to wider audience.

The 3 Nightly News programs reach ~ 5 million each; however Rush and Hannity radio reach ~ 15 million each albeit there is overlapping.

You wrote: "There is a story of media-government collusion in crimes with real harm to real people, which would expose just how corrupt the whole system is.

Do you have a link to this story?

https://www.thefuddyhoax.com/category/media/ gives some media presentations regarding the story. The information is consolidated in a book which can be purchased at http://www.thefuddyhoax.com/ .

There is much more context that needs to be added, as to why this particular story even happened, but that’s been hard to pull together since I’ve been dealing with the severe effects of my family being poisoned after I was threatened that my husband would have to lose his job if I didn’t stop investigating this story.

I’ve spent several hours over the last 2 days trying to help my husband re-learn how to tell whether a puzzle piece intended for 5-year-olds has one, two, or zero flat sides. I told him probably a dozen times that we were driving home from TX yesterday because he was confused.

What do you expect, when his body tissues were found to have 4 times the level of lead that Mayo Clinic’s Toxicology Dept says will cause brain damage - in a test that missed most of the lead because the chelator was instead pulling out gadolinium from an MRI he’d had 6 weeks earlier?

IOW, in a test that showed only a small portion of the lead in his system, he had 4 times the level of lead that would cause brain damage. My daughter also had lead exposure. We were unable to find any environmental sources for lead,and my daughter had only lived in the place we lived at the time.

All this transpired shortly after somebody claiming infinite money, time, and IT resources threatened me on my blog - after first hacking both my computer and my blog administration to disable me from getting the posted threat before it was too late.

When you look at the hard evidence my colleague/friend was able to make sense out of and confirm with experts, you can see why they thought it so critical to shut me up. But the story of this hoax and the crimes they committed to hide this hoax needs to be told and fully comprehended, because if they can do this so easily, what checks are there, to keep them from doing ANYTHING they want to do?

Sharyl Attkisson has heard from first-hand witnesses that presidential directives - hidden from public view - can and do give orders for crimes, and include cover story indemnity for those who commit the crimes. IOW, the only way those crimes will be found out is if somebody blows the whistle, but they will have the whole deep state, media, and legal system to fight because all those entities have permission to LIE, to do whatever is necessary to discredit the whistleblower, etc.

This is a far bigger issue than whether Mika had a chin lift or whether Trump is acting adequately “decent”. America as we know it - a land made great by the checks and balances so that tyranny would be exposed and stopped - does not exist at this moment in time. Period. America deserves to know the real condition of this country.

Thanks for the link - I am beginning the 3hr video.

I do remember the mysterious Fuddy death and have never believed Hussein Obamatollah was born in Hawaii.

Kudos to you for the work you have done in helping to expose the truth. So sad to hear about your husband and the challenges & threats to you and your family. God Bless you and them....and I’ll say a prayer for you and your family.

Keep the faith....I read the last chapter of “The Book” and the good guys win.

Thank you. Prayers are the best we can give.

Though a direct line to Sharyl Attkisson wouldn’t be bad either, if anybody has one handy...

Skepticism about society is the justification for government, and cynicism about society is necessary to rationalize tyranny.

For commercial, not philosophical, reasons, journalism is cynical about American society.

Therefore, commercial journalism is “liberalism."

All journalism is commercial liberal or otherwise!
If you can’t sell your “story” You can’t make a living at it. So it doesn’t matter. No one does it out of “noblesse oblige”. Note I include being a photogenic TV talking head newsreader in the “sell your story” concept. There you’re selling “yourself”.

I make a distinction between business news and conventional “commercial”, and I call it, journalism. If you are informing investors, you don’t want to badmouth good investments by systematic negativity.

But your general circulation newspaper screams negative headlines - and the negativity is not directed at government, but at society. “Society” is otherwise referred to as “the market” or “the private sector.”

And general circulation journalism also claims to be objective while knowing it is negative. You can only call negativity “objective” if you are cynical.
