Where do you go for official sources when the entire modern media establishment has an undeniable (and rather open) liberal bias? Ignoring bias, do you believe that every given situation that some group may identify as a problem is guaranteed to have a reputable source reporting on it? I'd love to find a more reputable source, but one is not currently available, and I'm not in a position to create one. That does not imply that the problem being reported on is illegitimate. You should be able to assess the contents of the video with PV's bias in mind - and most of the content really does stand on its own, especially in the context of relevant quotes from employees in OPs article. There was also a massive trove[1] of internal Google documents dumped on PV related to, among other things, AI development and arguably politically motivated guidance by internal definitions of "fairness", designed to shape search results. Should these documents also be ignored because they're only being hosted by Project Veritas? You can see them yourself... Ironically, this is the danger of trusting only select biased organizations with curating the flow of information - as you suggest, to most people, if a "reputable" source hasn't reported about it, it doesn't exist. How many years has 4chan been screaming about epstein, as another example, without major media investigation? The bottom line is that no entity that acts as the front page to the internet should be curating information flow without a massive, blinking disclaimer. 1.https://www.projectveritas.com/google-document-dump/ https://www.projectveritas.com/google-document-dump/

I admittedly only looked at at half a dozen images/PDFs, but I didn't see anything alarming or beyond what I would expect in any large company. In fact your link has had the opposite effect you intended because if you think a well cited document on diversity improving ROI and other metrics is controversial, I am now much less interested in what you have to say. If media does have a bias, and let's assume it does since it was de-regulated, then I'd put pro-business Liberalism first. Then on a liberal vs conservative spectrum, I would agree it is more liberal than conservative. But why is that controversial when by raw population there are more socially liberal people than conservative? Now that's out of the way... I do agree that no one media source should have the power Google, FB, Fox, CNN, etc have. And there is no doubt not every interest is covered by the giants. But you should stick to that argument and not bring in PV to actually win people over.
