I like how you included the fact that he is a conservative activist since "severly editing" would have been enough, and that doesn't seem to be the case with DisruptJ20.

>DisruptJ20 countered that it had caught on to the Veritas operation and had thus fed its operative a false plot.

Motive. A conservative activist certainly has motive to make DisruptJ20 look bad. Add in his past history of "editing" and you have your answer.

What sort of mental gymnastics is this ? You can't invalidate investigative journalism just because of someone's political alignment and they didn't even make DisruptJ20 look bad they made it look like a bunch aggresive people who think it's they're job to bring the world back to balance.

I'm not even defending this whole dreamhost thing, it's wrong on many levels but your thinking will hurt you.
