Although the videos are not public, they were used to demonstrate that O&#8217;Keefe is a skilled and experienced videographer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/investigation\/acorn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ACORN story<\/a> It was published before Project Veritas was created. It brought O&#8217;Keefe into the limelight and gave a glimpse of the type of journalism O&#8217;Keefe would pursue with his team.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Keefe, Hannah Giles were both in 2009. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/acorn-officials-videotaped-telling-pimp-prostitute-how-to-lie-to-irs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went<\/a> into ACORN [Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now] Offices and posed as a prostitute and a pimp. O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s video shows that ACORN staffers gave O&#8217;Keefe suggestions on how to avoid IRS scrutiny and run a brothel.<\/p>\n<p>The story was exploded when a spokesperson for the group called the portrayal &#8220;false and defamatory.&#8221; Even President Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/09\/20\/AR2009092002313.html\">weighed<\/a> In, calling the actions in video &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; These are worthy of further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Later, an outside probe may be necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thetwo-way\/2009\/12\/acorn_workers_cleared_of_illeg.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleared<\/a> ACORN of illegal activities, the videos led to concrete action by Congress, cutting funding for the group and the IRS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/09\/12\/us\/politics\/12acorn.html?_r=2&#038;scp=14&#038;sq=acorn&#038;st=cse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropping<\/a> Their relationship with the activist group.<\/p>\n<p>Final results: The group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/03\/23\/us\/23acorn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed down<\/a> Just a few months after O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s arrest, O&#8217;Keefe was arrested in 2010.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hillary Clinton Campaign Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Project Veritas released several videos from the 2016 election, including some that showed Democrat operatives discussing strategies to incite violence at Trump rallies, and other questionable campaign tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Foval, a Democrat operative, stated in the videos that there was a problem. &#8220;script&#8221; To try to win the election, I went to Trump events &#8220;crazies&#8221; To &#8220;bite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is not hard to get some of these assholes to pop off,&#8221; Foval <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2016\/10\/19\/498587397\/sting-video-purports-to-show-democrats-describing-how-to-commit-voter-fraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s a matter of showing up to want to get into the rally in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt, or \u2018Trump is a Nazi,&#8217; you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them to punch you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Foval and Robert Cramer, a Democrat activist, ended up in the same place. <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/SJjS0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">losing their<\/a> Both men claimed that the videos caused them to lose their jobs, but they were not aware of the context.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Google And Political Bias<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Project Veritas was released in July 2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/google-takes-action-against-whistleblower-who-james-barrett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a video<\/a> Greg Coppola, a senior Google Engineer, who claimed that the tech giant had biased its algorithms against conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been coding since I was ten [years old],&#8221; Project Veritas interviewed Coppola. &#8220;I have a PhD, I have five years&#8217; experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don&#8217;t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral,&#8221; Coppola <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/google-takes-action-against-whistleblower-who-james-barrett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> You can see the video. &#8220;Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Google maintains that it is neutral in politics, but conservatives are still skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>Coppola claims that tech companies began to crack down on conservative viewpoints after Trump&#8217;s rise.

This video shows Amy Robach complaining about the network&#8217;s decision to kill a story she wanted with a billionaire accuser of being a pedophile. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/jeffrey-epstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told, \u2018Who&#8217;s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story. Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn&#8217;t be able to interview Kate and Will that we, that also quashed the story,&#8221; Robach stated that in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3lfwkTsJGYA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She claimed that photos were available to back up her claims. &#8220;It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton. We had everything. I tried for three years to get it on to no avail and now it is all coming out and it is like these new revelations and I freaking had all of it,&#8221; Robach also added.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the network was established. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/news\/breaking-abc-news-and-amy-robach-respond-to-project-veritas-bombshell-epsteincoverup-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Although the material was not in compliance with its editorial standards, it raised questions about Epstein&#8217;s media coverage.

The video quickly gained millions of views and features Jordan Walker, Pfizer\u2019s director of research &#038; development. He reveals that the company has been considering mutating COVID through &#8220;directed evolution&#8221; in monkeys to develop new vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>This video raised many questions about the research Pfizer was doing and its view on the pandemic. Walker mentioned COVID as an option. &#8220;cash cow&#8221; For years to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer denied that it was carrying out gain-of-function research on COVID days later, but many people were still skeptical.

It was an undercover operation of one of America&#8217;s most powerful corporations that only a few would dare to attempt.<\/p>\n<p>It was the group&#8217;s strategy and targeting of powerful entities that led to its success. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/journalism-is-on-trial-project-veritas-ordered-to-pay-democratic-consulting-firm-over-2016-sting-operation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crosshairs<\/a> of nonprofits, corporations, Democrat operatives and legacy media.

The board charged him with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/project-veritas-releases-statement-on-why-james-okeefe-was-removed-from-company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial mismanagement<\/a> He was also accused of being a bad employee by some members of the group.
