James O'Keefe manufactures fake Roy Moore accuser

James O'Keefe, the Trump supporter (and convicted criminal) who tried to set up ACORN and NPR stings, just crashed and burned trying to manufacture some fake news:

==========================================
A woman approached The Post with dramatic — and false — tale about Roy Moore. She appears to be part of undercover sting operation.

By Shawn Boburg, Aaron C. Davis and Alice Crites
November 27 at 5:55 PM

A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore’s candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. The organization sets up undercover “stings” that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias.

James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2010 for using a fake identity to enter a federal building during a previous sting, declined to answer questions about the woman outside the Project Veritas office, a storefront in Mamaroneck, N.Y., on Monday morning shortly after the woman walked inside.

“I am not doing an interview right now, so I’m not going to say a word,” O’Keefe said.

Now THAT is how you do responsible journalism.

It isn't being reported on foxnews.com, so it cannot be true.

Project Veritas tries to feed fake accusation to WaPo in order to undermine the real stories they have printed.

WaPo does not print the false allegations and uncovers the attempted sting, thus demonstrating the strength of their due diligence, and how thoroughly they investigate and confirm the stories they have printed.

Idiot Republicans still find a way to believe it's proof that WaPo and NYT are 'fake news'

"I said it from the beginning, these were FALSE accusations... If the Washington Post were STUPID enough to print libelous stories fed to them without due diligence whose fault is that? "Journalism" has become a joke... Do CNN, WaPo, the NYT etc. even think about ethics or integrity? Or is it all about their political ideological affiliations?"

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Well good thing. Because trump voters are dying like Fox news, dying like weeds after a hard frost, dying like...

‘Deaths of Despair’ Are Surging Among the White Working Class
Mortality and morbidity, which measure chances of death or illness within an age group, began climbing in the late 1990s for less-educated whites between 45 and 54. That came as progress against heart disease and cancer slowed and drug overdoses, suicide and alcoholism -- so-called “deaths of despair” -- became pervasive.

White and Dying in America
The mortality rate among under-educated whites in America is rising, which explains why so many voted for Trump.

Looks like Roy Moore was in the loop in planting the fake story.

On Nov. 10th, Veritas agent "Jaime Phillips" emails the Washington Post with fake story. On Nov. 11th, Roy Moore says "There are investigations going on. In the next few days, there will be revelations about the motivations and the content of this article.”

What other fake news articles has he tried to plant?
