    Well no I didn't.

    O'Keefe is not the whistleblower. What federal crimes does the person who worked at CNN have under their belt?

    There are links to fact and source checking sites.

    CNN may have made a few mistakes over the years that is not the same as creating Fake News such as Vertas does.

    So it's more about the source then whether or not something is true?

    So you're admitting that you would absolutely be propagandized if a source you trusted decided to do that?

    And people wonder why we are so divided.

    How is anybody supposed to talk sense to you?

    When the whistle blower goes on Hannity and tells his story then it’s incredibly difficult to call Veritas story ‘created.’

    CNN is just left wing Alex Jones or Jesse Ventura. The only operate on their legacy and being bankrolled by outsiders.

    He is very convincing and appears to be very sincere and so far I have seen no comment from CNN and checking just now nothing on their website.

    That is just baseless babble and unsubstantiated accusation.

    Any reason CNN is called the "Conservative News Network" likely involves either a lot of alcohol or enough drugs to make a Colombian drug lord blush. Probably both.

    In other words, everyone reading this should take a step back and see if this turns out to be another one of their scams. Awesome.

    Why not take a look at the video and decide for yourself?

    I’ve provided you with links to resources from which I draw my opinion on the matter. You claim the resources I’ve posted are false without a) Reading them. b) Providing evidence to the contrary. Would you prefer easily digested infographics or memes? I don’t deal in either of those. My apologies for not catering to a more time efficient format. The definitions I provided for my descriptors of their methods come from Oxford. Fraudulent behavior is by its very definition dishonest behavior. You can accuse me of being redundant if you like. Fraudulent behavior does not require them to have stollen money or embezzled funds. I’m not certain you thought that was my meaning, but I figured I’d cover that just in case. You in fact moved the goal post by requesting I provide “a sentence or two”, typed out as an example that supports my claim (seeing as you don’t open Lin’s), then ignored what I typed and focused entirely on me providing the definitions of the words I used to describe them. Perhaps you missed it, or did you intentionally ignore it? I would argue your claims of my dishonesty and incompetence have been a pretty long stream of ad hominem and bullying. I’m guessing your win condition for debates is overwhelming and chasing posters out of threads.
    Save me your teachable moment hoopla. The last person I need lessons from is someone who chooses to conduct themselves as you do. You’ve ignored anything and everything that didn’t suit your purpose. Latched on to the smallest thing you felt offered any leverage and used it to ignore legitimate points. Now, go ahead and pick the parts of this post you’d like to hyper focus on. Make sure to ignore anything you can’t use to your benefit.

    You're a pigeon on a chess board.

    Is the video published and edited by the same group who has been caught publishing manipulative video edits in the past?

    Then I guess your question wasn’t terribly clear. Care to rephrase it?

    Bet you are using the accusation of hypocrisy to justify or distract from hypocrisy.

    If a source was known for propaganda I wouldn’t listen to it. And trusting a resource does not imply a non-critical ear.
    I’ll appreciate you not putting words in my mouth in future posts. Thank you.

    I compare them to Michael Moore. I find them both repulsive.

    Meta hypocrisy: when you are so invested in hypocrisy that you praise the "injection" of hypocrisy to justify hypocrisy within hypocrisy. Mind blown.
