2. This is a senior engineer. Do their comments about internal practices not matter at all?
3. Where is the rumor? It’s a video. Is this a deepfake we are watching? Are we hallucinating?
The whole video is just straight up fake.
It’s one of the most obvious tells, I’m just surprised that they are still this bad at it after so many years.
In their defence it doesn’t matter in practice, the target audience simply does not care or know the difference.
First step after leaving the dinner would be to scrub any online presence (to enable this exact comment). Not calling you out specifically, it's the right play.
The founder should have served hard time for the Mary Landrieu incident alone.
It’s such a fundamental thing that it’s literally one of the first things we tell children about through fairytales like the boy who cried wolf.
I feel I have no strong biases one way or the other - I've only just heard of this media outlet, but from the list of incidents it looks like they're just doing _actual_ investigative journalism and digging for answers instead of just copy-pasting from AP Newswire and adding a politically preferred spin to it like other outlets.
Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.
Where you got “_actual_ investigative journalism and digging for answers” from that is beyond me and is something to probably reflect on if you’re being serious and not just shitposting.
