I've found most things with any form of the word "truth" in their name to be anything but.

Except Colbert's "truthiness" which is pretty fantastic.
True, but most rational people were aware he was a parody.
Veritasium rn 👀
What a nasty little clump of shitbags. Good riddance.
This group ran out of money now Russia's finances are going from bad to worse?
I'm not sure I'm familiar with this org, what did they do? From the article I was able to gather that they're some kind of conservative activists, but I'm curious about what they do
They do little covert missions recording the organizations they consider to be political enemies, push employees to say things that appear bad, and release selectively edited videos that appear damning but end up being nothing much of substance.
They also straight up lied a lot. The best example of their shit we got was when they sent an undercover employee in to the Washington Post with a fake story about how a Republican candidate impregnated her as a teenager and then kept badgering the reporters to speculate on what that story could do to his campaign.
Wow, imagine being the PV morons, surprised that not all journalists are as stupid as you are.
They covertly recorded conversations they had with employees of charities and corporations they were opposed to. Oftentimes the person recording would ingratiate themselves at a bar or date and any jokes, deprecating humor, or mistakes would be taken at face value. Somebody making shit up on a date would then be used as evidence against their enemy. Certainly there may have been small nuggets of truth buried under the shit, but they were massive scumbags.
Hannah Giles — who played the prostitute to O’Keefe’s pimp in the infamous 2009 ACORN sting video — was appointed CEO of Project Veritas earlier this year after O’Keefe was ousted from his position by the board of directors in February.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of people.
Lousy nest of scumbags.
A “wretched hive of scum and villainy” if you will.
Normally I'm concerned if someone loses their job. But these cunts? I hope they go broke and have to move in with their parents for all the damage they've done to political discourse in this country. I hope they hurt. May their actions hound and tarnish them until they publicly apologize and ask forgiveness for their bullshit.
Hell, I hope these bastards are reduced to living in a cardboard box under an overpass and eating out of dumpsters.
Right wing propaganda network goes belly up after TFG proves himself to be a weak, pussy bitch.
More like right wing propaganda outlet starts to go under after founder discovered to have [allegedly] embezzled, stolen, or otherwise have misappropriated funds from right wing propaganda outlet [again, allegedly].
I hope for nothing but bad things for James O'keefe and crew, absolute garbage people.
O'Keefe is already gone. They kicked him out earlier this year. Totally imploding.
It happened after they fired O'Keefe. I think O'Keefe is already building a new company from the ground up.
one turd at a time
Maybe they can go back to Russia and see if there's work for them there
Project Merde
looks like shit
I was incredibly confused why everyone seemed to think the YouTube channel with fun physics videos was the scum of the earth, until I realized they are named Veritasium and not Veritas.
