Breitbart And O'Keefe Pull Another Video Scam and Break Multiple Laws

















Breitbart And O'Keefe Pull Another Video Scam and Break Multiple Laws

In a video posted on BigGovernment.com, conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe claims that he has uncovered census supervisors in a New Jersey office "systematically encouraging employees to falsify information on their time sheets." Following his pattern of selectively editing videos, O'Keefe excluded a clip -- which was subsequently aired by ABC -- of a census leader telling workers that they must carefully and accurately report on their time sheets the number of miles they drive when they are doing their enumeration work.

Why is ABC News Helping Breitbart and O'Keefe, who seem to be suffering some some kind of personality disorder, a chance to scam the public. Make no mistake Breitbart makes lots of money from the right-wing extremist propaganda sites he runs,  'Good Morning America' host repeats, nearly verbatim, NYTimes' inaccurate, discredited report in 'exclusive' interview today...

As convicted federal criminal and rightwing dirty-trickster James O'Keefe repeated over and again this morning on ABC's Good Morning America, "this isn't about me." (Full video at end of article.)

To that end, neither is The BRAD BLOG's coverage of the scam artists' phony ACORN videos, or his attempted wiretap plot in a U.S. Senator's office, or his latest startling exposé for which he's released video today (also posted at end of article) purporting to show that he was allowed a full hour for his lunch break during one of two training days as a U.S. Census worker in April, and even allowed to leave an hour or two early when that day's training completed ahead of schedule. (Shocking, I know!)

Our coverage isn't about him. Never has been. We expect partisan scam artists like him, and his employer, rightwing con-man Andrew Breitbart, to get away with whatever deceptive, partisan nonsense they can. This has always been about the utter failure of the corporate mainstream media in irresponsibly giving them a platform to publicize their propaganda, without even bothering to check any of the facts for accuracy first.

Concerned citizens might want to contact ABC and ask them about their fact checking and ethics policy. We all know by now that Andrew Breitbart and James O'Keefe are smiley-faced fascists thus standards of honor and integrity are not even considered. Why is ABC helping them and the NYT spread their lies.
