The headline leads the reader to think that the OKeefe' CNN bullsh!t video is taken out of context and edited. Yet... they offer no evidence of this other than the flimsy excuse that this man is not a CNN News DC exec, so therefore he is somehow discredited?

The article also basically smears OKeefe as an unethical criminal.

I thought I would post this before Miss BamaAtl or a want, did. This is their talking points to deflect.

All of the MSM outlets have an incestuous relationship where they share "anonymous" sources, base articles on pieces from other outlets, hire and re-hire the same people, and cover each other's backs.

The media should be policing each other instead of protecting each other.

Well, he did plea guilty to a crime(misdemeanor trespassing), so he is a criminal.

The nerve of that guy, entering the august presence of Mary Landrieu's staff. Uppity fricking peasant.

Didn't he break into her office? He originally had a felony breaking & entering charge from what I remember, but pleaded down to the misdemeanor.


At any rate, he's still a criminal, so that label is accurate and fair. Unethical is open to interpretation, but I'd say someone that breaks the law to accomplish their goal is unethical, but there are some grey areas.

It wasn't breaking and entering. It was "entering a federal office under false pretenses". So again, an uppity fricking peasant daring to soil the rarefied atmosphere of Landrieu staffers.

Are you ignorant, stupid, or both?

O’Keefe pleaded guilty in 2010 to unlawfully entering the New Orleans office of then-Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) after he and three associates went to the office dressed as telephone workers in an alleged attempt to tamper with the senator’s phones. He received three years of probation, a fine of $1,500 and 100 hours of community service.

Do you really think people get off this easy for breaking and entering a federal fricking office building or attempting to tap a Senator's phones? You should win some sort of prize for that level of stupidity.

It is. They always are.

This is a cycle. He releases some 'bombshell', idiots like yourself lap it up, then a few days/weeks later it's revealed that the unedited tapes are completely innocent.

Every time.

Good job falling for it again, though!

WaPo rushes out with a baseless piece smearing the whistle blower and defending the fake news network caught dead to rights, on video cooking up propaganda.

No liberal agenda here, folks. Quietly move along.

I fail to see the point you are trying to make here. He clearly plead down after being caught red handed impersonating a maintenance crew in an attempt to gain access to a senator's office.
