You do know that journalists do stings quite frequently, yes? It's a very common tactic and frequently deployed against politicians, business people etc. So Veritas tried to do a sting on the WP and failed, so what? You're acting like it's immoral or implies untrustworthyness but it doesn't. I've never seen that be argued before. Perhaps journalists don't like the taste of their own medicine?
- dragonwriter 7y agoVeritas doesn't just try to do stings, it actively misleadingly presents the evidence it gathers in them to push a pre-conceived political narrative. And before you pull out “but other people do that” argument again, yes, Veritas isn't alone in being a dishonest propaganda outfit, but other self-styled journalists, even those with established journalistic records, who are caught doing even much lesser versions of that get called out and drummed out of any even slightly reputable outlet in the industry in disgrace when that happens. That it's Veritas’ whole raison-d’être shows that Veritas Isn't a journalistic outfit, but simply a propaganda operation.
