Veritas is, per its own CEO, an unsalvageable, lying, criminal mess of an organization. The people who kept coming here full of pomp and snark carrying on about Veritas's "exposes" even after we rebutted it and exposed Veritas lies and corruption owe all of us an apology.

You didn't rebut anything. People were on camera saying what they said. You tried unsuccessfully to rationalize it. That is all.

They’re not bright people and they refuse to read anything that might explain things to them. So, no, they’ll double down.

They still had a skeleton crew operating.

O'Keefe left Veritas a year ago. You're chasing ghosts.

It's truly astounding how right wingers presume to know better than anyone - including knowing better than the CEO of Veritas. Or knowing better than what Trump officials and staffers witnessed first-hand, and so on. They reject the people who were right there in the belly of the beast, the FIRST HAND WITNESES and instead sit there, arms folded, smirking, because they are SO SURE they "KNOW THE TRUTH" better than anyone, even though they were nowhere near where it happened, did not witness anything for themselves, don't even know anyone who did and don't even have any credible or reliable source to back them and their arrogant denialistic beliefs up. It's the absolute height of narcissistic arrogance and delusion.

Wrong, and keep up. Veritas was repeatedly caught altering recordings. Repeatedly. What Veritas did has been rebutted on many many occasions, and O'Keefe has been repeatedly found liable for fraud in courts. Why do you think O'Keefe is gone and Veritas is collapsing, after all? It's because they are fraudulent grifters, always have been.

Bonus question: freedom of information laws are also known as “sunshine laws.”

Why would a good and constitutional law be called a “sunshine law?”

What does the word “veritas” mean anyway? Gee.

A right wing outlet even covered this, you guys. Project Wingnut was wrong. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2013/03/08/james-okeefe-pays-100000-to-acorn-employee-he-smeared-conservative-media-yawns/?sh=b13d18514bd4

“It seems that the master of the cleverly edited—if highly deceptive—video reel is now being required to pay the sum of $100,000 to Juan Carlos Vera, a one time California employee of ACORN. Mr. Vera had been portrayed by O’Keefe as being a willing participant when O’Keefe and his accomplice, Hanna Giles, proposed smuggling young women into the United States to work as prostitutes.

While Mr. Vera had no idea he was being surreptitiously video taped—which is not surprising given that California law expressly bars the secret recording of one’s voice or image—there was also something Mr. O’Keefe did not know until after he released the damaging video of his conversation with Vera for broadcast.

As soon as O’Keefe and his partner-in-crime left the ACORN location, Mr. Vera called the police to report the entire incident. It turns out that Vera had been playing along with O’Keefe in an effort to ensnare O'Keefe and Giles whom Vera believed were in the act of breaking the law by proposing to engage in the importing of young women to become prostitutes.”

This is me again. My guys. Where are you? Have you nothing to say in rebuttal to this? You were certain that “Project Veritas” was the beacon of truth in journalism; where is your assured nature now?

Opps, apparently Project Veritas and James O'Keefe settled a lawsuit against them for lying about election fraud. Today both had to issue a retraction:
