Hardly - putting someone in jail for going into a federal building under false pretenses? That's pretty darn close to just trespassing to me.
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.
Allow me to copy and paste the opening paragraph of their Wikipedia page:
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.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, that is very literally their entire focus to chop and selectively edit things to remove all context and repackage them in the most partisan format possible and has been since the start.
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.
