What is Project Veritas?
Project Veritas is a conservative media organization dedicated to secretly infiltrating progressive
organizations to produce unflattering and often selectively edited videos. Project Veritas operates under
the guise of citizen journalism, but serves a conservative political agenda without adhering to basic
journalistic ethics. The organization was founded by James O’Keefe, a protégé of Andrew Breitbart, in
2010.
Project Veritas has frequently been criticized for editing its videos to deceive its audience and
misrepresent its subjects. New York magazine described O’Keefe’s ACRON videos as having been “edited
in a highly misleading way.”1 A 2010 investigation into the ACORN videos by former California Attorney
General Jerry Brown, found that O’Keefe’s videos were “severely edited,” and an accompanying press
release described O’Keefe as a “partisan zealot.”2 In 2016, Andrew Seaman—chair of the Society of
Professional Journalists’ ethics committee—wrote that O’Keefe is “not an ethical journalist” and has a
“history of distorting facts or context.”
Project Veritas’ deceptive editing has been a source of continuing legal trouble for the group, which is
currently fighting at least two defamation lawsuits filed by individuals featured in its videos, and has
paid three settlements to individuals who brought defamation claims.

Twtter tries to limit misinformation. IMO they don't do enough.
