    As opposed to what the "news" media like CNN does?

    That is a great point. Definatly exposes the hypocracy of the OP that uses a historically bias journalist to expose a historically bias media outlet.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    Bias does have its uses to those that try to not be biased.

    However you can't deny what Chester said when he admitted that CNN used propaganda. Even if the rest of the video was edited, that part wasn't. Unless you can prove that O'Keefe edited each word to purposefully make Chester "say" what he did? If so then that would definitely be grounds to sue O'Keefe. Think that's going to happen?

    Learn what is and what isn't the source.

    The 'historically bias journalist' isn't the source. Someone from CNN is the source. Who posted the video online is irrelevant. But keep clinging to anything you can grasp.....

    Then again (for the umpteenth time) SO WHAT?

    As has been pointed out several times:

    Faux News (et.al) did all that they could to trash Biden and help Trump.

    Pot meet Kettle.

    Where have I defended Fox? Where have I said that they are not biased? Oh right, I haven't done any of those thing. But I guess when all you have is whataboutisms this is the best argument that you can muster. Try something original next time. Might surprise people instead of sounding like a broken record.

    You, of course are indubitably incorrect. The left overwhelmingly voted for Biden. If the left watched CNN, their ratings would be far above FOX News.

    I don't really see the big deal here. This bias is not a secret. When O'keefe uncovers a media outlet that isn't bias then call me impressed.

    With a few exceptions I have rarely seen a dem or repub on this site, or others, try to make the claim their news is not bias. Of course others opinions may vary but to me this story is sensationalized click bait exposing the obvious.

    I disagree with your ascersion about "edited each word" to change the meaning. The key word here is context. Context can easily be manipulated by simple omission of previous or succeeding information (editing each word is not required).

    This is my opinion, and I am not defending CNN, but to me their is a certain psychology involved when a person attempts to solicit desired statements from another without their knowledge. A tendency maybe to show off or to posture in a situation among colleagues (or whatever o'keefe was pretending to be) has potential to create exaggerations and embellishments. I would give a lot more credence to a statement that occurred in offhand conversation then to a statement where the person is being coaxed to give a desired statement.

    Really? A 'historically bias joirnalist' is not relevant? What if he edited content as O'keefe has done in the past?

    What kind of transparent partison arguement is that?

    Are you saying these tapes have no credibility, it's all faked or something?

    You've already admitted to having no clue as to whether O'keefe has done that or not.

    Maybe you should try to prove what you're insinuating.....just a thought. But like I said, keep clinging to anything you can.

    Well of course I have. That is a non partison statement. All I claim, is based on his history, I would take anything he has to say with grain of salt. Are you denying his history of video/audio editing to support his contentions?

    You want me to prove my "insinuation", that O'keefe and CNN have a history of bias? Is this not evident to you? Which part do you not believe?

    Um most of the left is visiting psychiatrists. The amount of mental illness on the left is beyond staggering. Nearly 60% of white liberal women have mental illness. These women are your kids teachers and professors. These are your journalists. There is a reason that the MSM characterize horrific riots at "peaceful protests". There is a reason that the MSM always takes the side of violent black felons. There is a reason that MSM hates America and its heritage. The reason is right there in front of all us..... mental illness and deep hatred for ones self. Remember this, when you vote with the left, you are voting with the most mentally ill people in America and perhaps the world.

    Are you sure you're posting in the right thread because I don't think you are

    Totally.

    Faux News, Newsmax, and OAN are completely unbiased.

    Got it.

    O'Keefe really exposed CNN. Yippee...

    CNN was the only "biased" news organization in the history of televised media.

    What an awesome revelation. :bored:

    Btw--Does anybody actually exist who actually "believes" anything that comes from O'Keefe (and his misguided Brain Diarrhea)?

    The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings to allege misconduct and corruption in mainstream media organizations and progressive groups Project Veritas uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas

    Totally awesome that people can rely on such an Impeccably Unbiased source (like PV and O'Keefe).:bored:

    Editing a video for time is literally done by everyone. No I'm not denying that he's done that. Everybody edits videos for time. That's not news or even worth mentioning. You are acting as if they've been edited to change the context or the meaning of what's on the video. And you've admitted to having no clue if it's true or not.

    You're clearly trying to move off of your original comments as I've exposed them for how absurd they were.

    No that is not what I asked you to prove because simply claiming bias was not your original claim.

    Again, you're running from your original comments.

    Maybe reread what you quoted. This was not the claim.

    This information isn't coming from O'Keefe. Do you need to be reminded, yet again, that the 'source' of information isn't necessarily who posts it online?
