    Project Veritas seemingly caught feeding false Moore accusations to Washington Post

    Project Veritas, an organization run by conservative activist James O’Keefe, appears to have been get caught trying to pass false sexual misconduct allegations against Senate candidate Roy Moore to The Washington Post, extending its history of deploying deceptive tactics to try to ensnare news organizations in controversy.

    The newspaper reported Monday that a woman who falsely told its reporters she had been impregnated by the embattled GOP candidate as a teenager was seen entering the offices of the organization in New York, seemingly tipping the group’s hand in its efforts to bait The Post into publishing uncorroborated accusations against Moore.

    After a series of interviews with the woman, The Post report said, the newspaper opted not to publish the explosive yet unverified claims. It noted that during the meetings, the purported accuser repeatedly solicited the reporters for opinions on whether her claims would damage Moore in Alabama’s special election on Dec. 12.

    Moore, a former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, is locked in a struggle for political survival after a spate of recent allegations of sexual misconduct with minors when he was in his 30s.

    Project Veritas later on Monday began posting unverified interactions between the organization and members of The Post.

    Bannon and Breitbart News are among Moore’s staunchest political allies and defenders.
    Politico
    Reporting on the facts is being a "staunchest political ally"

    I know Spurtacular is a re but this if anything confirms all of the Moore allegations since it shows the Post being very careful not to print anything fake

    So, because they didn't print something they allegedly suspected of being a setup, then it shows they are doing right by Moore? Nice logic, "re ".

    So you think the woman who met with O'Keefe was telling the truth to the Post about being impregnated by Moore, bro?

    Yes or no.

    I mean a fake story could still get printed if its very elaborately constructed but much more unlikely given how good they are at fact checking

    You didn't read any of it, bro. You were laughing about Politico, bro -- but the Post staff verified everything reported in Politico themselves, bro.

    Maybe the Post staff had a place they could publish information about something they were working on for possible publication in the Post, bro.

    You can't even read a simple sentence. Nothing in that sentence even suggests the Post staff confirmation was in the Politico article in the OP.

    Here's a hint -- we've already posted the Post staff's confirmation in the forum.

    You might not like Politico, but I don't see anything non-factual in their reporting.

    There is perhaps no better illustration of the bad faith that prevails today on the populist right than the actions of O’Keefe as he solicits donations for Project Veritas. And this is not the first time O’Keefe has failed to disclose to his audience that the uncharitable premise of one of his stings was disproved by a target who behaved well, only to be portrayed by O’Keefe as a villain anyway.

    O’Keefe still parts credulous supporters from their money in part because the rest of the right-wing media is reluctant to expose his particular con.
