BREAKING: @washingtonpost National Security Correspondent on WaPo company culture: "They definitely don't like Trump…" #ProjectVeritas

.@washingtonpost National Security Reporter @DanLamothe: “Woah, I work for that place?” in Reference to Biased Editorial Section


The great gotcha so far is that in hidden-camera footage in the office, a Post reporter explains the difference between the paper's news function and its editorial opinion one.

The replies on those tweets are full of people ripping O'Keefe for thinking he has some sort of scoop rather than providing evidence of the distinction between news and opinion, and asking him pointed questions about his tax return and sources of funding.

Meanwhile, Project Veritas is all excited because it's currently trending:




Project Veritas

@Project_Veritas

Look at that, we're trending! Will the truth-suppressers "fix" that when we release our #AmericanPravda @washingtonpost videos? @jack?




A horde of heartless replies are pointing out that this is because they're the great laughing stock of the moment.
