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:

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

A botched sting with a phony Roy Moore "accuser" was supposed to discredit the media.
