Is there an ultra-left equivilant of Project Veritas? I don’t think there is.

The Veritas guys probably do believe it. You can usually tell how much these creeps drink their own Kool-Aid by how clownishly incompetent they are. The ones who are cynically exploiting the idiocy of others are usually careful to keep their accusations vague and their worst assumptions plausibly deniable, so they…

Prediction - Yes, this story demonstrates how Veritas tells crazy lies to further their narrative. It also shows that WaPo (like NYT, etc) uphold standards of ethics and evidence. But it won’t budge the millions of people who trust crazy liars over fact-based journalism.

Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous how easily and thoroughly they played themselves. Their M.O. seems to be getting people in unguarded moments (and then selectively editing videos). How they thought this ham handed attempt was going to fool a group of people (reporters, fact checkers, researchers, editors) who would all…

Has any organization had a more ironic name than Project Veritas?

The video of the meeting is awesome. The reporter basically tells her “We know you’re bullshit and we’re running with the story that you’re bullshit.” The wanna-be-trickster at that point looks like she shit her pants.

My favorite part is that by trying to prove the Post wasn’t reliable, they effectively proved that the Post is reliable.

These are not smart people.

It’s not shocking that they tried this, it is shocking they thought The Post wouldn’t see through such obvious bullshit. It’s like they actually believe the ‘fake news’ propaganda the right puts out. Hard to tell the true believers from the ones just running a bit.

I fucking love US journalism. Be proud, my American friends, be proud.

It’s really a team effort. It takes the combined energy of tens of millions of Americans, working around the clock, to supply the massive amounts of energy required to keep Trump’s many massive delusions operational.

I’m concerned this may undermine his credibility.

Will some journalist please confront a member of Trump’s administration about this with all the facts and appropriate follow-up questions?

Lewis is using violence to communicate a manifesto. Frank isn’t trying to communicate at all; he’s trying to kill specific people who he knows hurt him. Both are bad, but Frank is at least actively trying to avoid hurting innocent people, whereas Lewis has no regard whatsoever for collateral damage.

“Help me, God!” “Sorry, Unitarian, according to you I’m in the flowers and the trees, and I’m just a vague, benign force. You’re on your own.”

WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!

I saw and responded to this on Twitter, but I’ll say it again: Very happy about this!

Hmmm... Kinga. Kinja. Coincidence!?

I thought the new season was very good overall, and it even added a handful of all-time classic episodes to the canon. I’ll be eagerly awaiting this next batch.

Cheers to more MST3k, can’t wait to see how they resolve the season 11 cliffhanger.
