Project Veritas and True Investigative Reporting


I find it amazing that with all the money the large media outlets have to investigate and do real reporting on real issues they do NONE of it. They leave it to people such as James O’Keefe. He is more or less out on his own and the other media do nothing but occasionally carry his stories.

He recently did another sting on the New York Unions, and Green Jobs and Green New York, and still not a peep from any of the media outlets including Fox News. They are more interested in simple commentary and opinion pieces. They would rather just get both sides on and have them both yell at each other. It’s more like reality TV then like true investigative reporting.

Why do we waste our time with their likes? Even as it is it does not seem that Fox News could even take the time or spend the money to hire James O’keefe and give him a budget to do what they won’t.

What happened to the days when we had reporters who would really dig? If we had the same reporters then that we have now, we never would have found out about Watergate.

Our media have become nothing but mouth pieces and useful idiots for the politicians. They give them every opportunity to say their side, but they don’t bother to check up on them and report what is really going on.

Let’s face it, both sides of the aisle do nothing but spin (translate: lie) about what they’re doing. At one time it was up to the news to find out what was really going on, but it seems they’ve given up on that in favor of entertainment, and opinion pieces.

News is not reporting what you think about what someone said, it is reporting what they said. Yet our current media is far more interested in the interpretation then the fact.

Fox News didn’t even know about the executive order by President Obama and wouldn’t have known about it if it hadn’t been for a whistleblower in a welfare office.

What does this mean? It means the media really isn’t even taking the time to keep track of the executive orders being issued by this or probably other presidents as well. What this means is that our freedoms and even those of the media could be taken from them and they don’t even care to know about it.

The latest Project Veritas report has still gone unreported and even when/if it does get reported it will not be thanks to the investigative reporting of Fox News or any other news agency, it will be in spite of them.

It is because the big media agencies can no longer be depended on to actually investigate things or to do their job of actually reporting, but have instead engaged in propaganda, and opinion, I have had to turn to other online sources. I have bookmarked projectveritas.org and wnd.com. First of all they get the news first because they’re doing the job of investigating, and second because they are far more interested in showing you what these people are really saying instead of just the spin they want to put on it.

The latest Project Veritas report, doesn’t bother to ask them after the fact to now put their spin on what they just found was REALLY going on. I suppose they know Fox News, MSNBC, CBS, and others will busy themselves with that. No commentary is needed or even desired. What’s being said and what’s being done by these people is more than clear. The tapes and video are not doctored, like some of the outlets love doing, it is what it is!

I only wish we had more reporting like this.

Of course these days we have a real sheriff and his team, investigate something as big as whether or not the president’s birth certificate is a forgery. He declares that what was presented to us as the real thing would not be able to be validated by a judge in a court of law and the news media including Fox News have not one word to say about it. Either they are all in on it or they are simply afraid of being branded nuts or conspiracy lunatics. Either way it sure seems to have been effective that we have not one person except a brave small town sheriff willing to do this and the media have nothing to say as though he were just a nut, but there is not one fact to dispute what he said.

All the media can say is, Obama showed us his birth certificate. They ignore the fact that it is being declared a forgery. I understand at this point that it would be an awful amount of egg on their face if it turns out to be true because it will mean they ALL swept it under the carpet for 4 years rather than truly investigate it the way it deserved. They preferred to think that NO ONE would really be bold enough to do such a thing. However, we are watching a president that is bold enough to continually right new laws or make them up with the stroke of a pen and an executive order.

In many cases these things have been done completely below the radar and the media isn’t making a big stink about that either, but then that also makes sense because once again it indicates they are not doing their job the way they’re supposed to be.

I would have hoped that even though the media isn’t covering most of the investigative stuff done by Project Veritas that maybe our representatives might, but then I suppose that is pure foolishness as the representatives only seem to care about stuff once it has been on the news and the people are aroused. Sadly most of our representatives could care less about doing the right or ethical thing simply because it is such; they by far prefer to do what is expedient for them and for them alone.

I’m not quite sure how we came to the place of having both media and representatives like this, but it is clear that we have both now and as a result the corruption is spreading at an exponential rate.

These days it doesn’t seem to matter how much hard evidence even gathered by law enforcement you have if it’s not politically correct or been amazingly branded a conspiracy theory; no one will even give your new evidence a fair hearing. What I can’t figure out is where this fear of looking into the Obama birth certificate come from. It is rather similar in many ways to the general Obamamania when he was running for president. He had never done anything of note and no one knew a thing about him, but they were sure he was the man for the job. Now no one dares question anything he does. He uses executive orders to get around congress, has non-recess recess appointments no one questions or revokes, he tells his minions not to uphold laws he swore an oath of office to uphold. What is going on?

Whether you’re a “birther” or not should not matter if evidence comes forward that the president is president FORGED documents to the American people and purporting that they are genuine. Forgery is a felony the last time I checked and this certainly qualifies by itself as a high crime and misdemeanor which alone is enough to impeach the president. Still our congress does nothing. Even the Republicans seem to be in on the progressive destruction of this nation . They absolutely refuse to cut spending except apparently on such things as though the government is SUPPOSED to be spending on, the military and the post office. It is an outrage to the constitution and to the American people, yet our congress refuses to fulfill their oath as well yet compounding the outrage and still, to my surprise, the American people just accept it with hardly a word. Of course the propaganda and completely lack of reporting and investigation by the media on these issues doesn’t help, since in most cases the American people are not even aware these things are going on.

Maybe our representatives are saving this information in case Obama is not kicked out of office. Either way this should not be happening. Our representatives have a responsibility they swore an oath to, to support and defend the constitution and yet they are still not doing it. It is an outrage and the fact that the media, including Fox News, who would have us believe they are fair and balanced refuse to report on far too many of these issues.
