...tries to blackmail an interview subject so they can get the interview, we can talk about what Project Veritas did as “investigative journalism.”this thing where elite reporters want to reframe theft that's part of a ratfucking campaign as investigative journalism is deeply weird and revealing https://t.co/8KUhStCebh pic.twitter.com/mY2trE2X2W

We’ll also have to re-write the statutes on blackmail.
So, the answer to my question of the morning is "yes" the media will anoint O'Keefe and his band or raunchy ratfuckers as journalists. Yet they wonder why their profession is so discredited. The NYT is Republican-fascist trash. I think the owners are mostly interested in keeping their tax cuts and the writers and scribblers working for them know that. Or they're just so used to the common received attitude of their profession that they know there's no danger in it.
