Project Veritas is not a reputable source.


The appeal to authority/"approved" sources only begs the question of who's doing the approving. Idgaf what side of the political aisle Project Veritas is. LOL "Steelers vs Ravens" Fuck that mentality. It's two sides of the same coin. Maybe try judging content instead of ideology?

You should care because anyone trying to influence you is pushing an agenda. Project Veritas has an agenda. Convincing you that certain things are true or aren't true is part of that agenda. Why wouldn't you want to consider what their agenda might be when trying to convince you of something through a heavily edited and chopped up video? Why wouldn't you be concerned that they never release the full contents of their undercover videos, which might show that the information presented has been heavily manipulated?

My agenda is to point out that creating your own facts and reality isn't healthy for a person or a country. Once you're in an echo chamber where all you hear is that you're the only ones clever or smart enough to know the truth about the grand conspiracy, you shut out all other sources of information that might poke holes in your belief. It's kind of like organized religion in that sense.

You should be questioning where you get your information from. Is it a government press release? What might by the government's agenda? Is it from a video produced by a group that is heavily financed by certain individuals that have a history of distorting the truth and making up outright lies? What might their agenda be?

By the way, the fact that you're sure that healthy young athletes are dropping dead left and right, yet all available statistics show that they're healthier than ever, and dying at lower rates than 20 years ago, should make you question where you heard this "fact" that you've now repeated to others.

Or are all of the statistics being manipulated as well? Big Pharma is paying all of the doctors and county morgues in the US to not report healthy young athletes dropping dead?
