Van Jones "Russia is a nothingburger" - Project Veritas

[Madmick]

Yet you'll eat up anonymous sources like candy

That's a hallmark of journalism, sweetheart. That's how people talk.

You're the one who is so bitter all the leaks have proven so accurate; you and Trump. You guys loved it when Obama was the one being undermined. Now? Not so much.

We warned you about that.

I'm gonna put this in my thread too

@Ruprecht

Do you feel the same way now that it's not "just a health producer"?

Spoiler

@KONE get in here too

Strange that this didn't actually notify me.
Yes.

I just figured I was being promoted until I saw they were to you

Ha! Well, good luck with that. I hope you enjoy a lot of whinging.

I would put stock into this project veritas stuff if they didn't edit things down to 10 seconds. Why not just release all the footage?

It seems completely dishonest. It's exactly the stuff the left tried to pull against Trump.

cause the people that watch it dont have an attention span that long.

Limit the GIF Bombs to 3xGIFs, plz, Homer. That goes for everyone. We've been getting complaints around the horn.

BTW, when are these videos taken? Neither is time stamped. Neither appears to reference any specific incident which could ground it. As far as I can tell either could have been taken from last year prior to the election.

Can any of you who are clinging to this provide this single, simple detail? Or is that asking too much of hyper-partisan activist journalism?

The van jones video is from 2 days ago.
The other one I have no idea.

 

[sleepwalk]

Van Jones lost any credibility he had when he figured that the swing states that voted for Obama twice going Republican must've been because of racist whites and that his confusion as to what he was going to tell his children that morning was national news.

Really well sourced and informative article on the russia conspiracy and all the fake news surrounding it. https://theintercept.com/2017/06/27...e-of-media-recklessness-on-the-russia-threat/ I urge people to read this...no matter what side of the fence they are on. I feel it is unbiased and fair.
Also it makes no mention of the okeefe videos. For what its worth.

The intercept has been building a reputation for itself, hasn't it?

I've been keeping up with how certain media personalities have treated Trump ever since the election. Pretty sure Van Jones is a closet Trump supporter, and only plays a character on CNN; he's had moments on TV where he's let it shown through by giving Trump support where it's warranted. He's also very friendly with Alex Jones behind the scenes.

Cut too short. We only get one sentence lead up. "That Russia Thing" could refer to a specific story or instance. For example, he could have said "Man, you guys got hit hard this week with the retraction of that Russia story. What do you think is going to happen with that Russian thing?" and then his response about nothing-burger is him calling the retraction a nothing burger. We need to see more tape.

Pretty much true of everything veritas does. thats why they are actually fake, have been sued for this exact thing before. Their videos show things that literally didnt happen.

he's the ventriloquist of investigative journalism

That's not even an attempt at an argument to rationally defend this editing. It won't take four years to gather the context.

You're right. It is not an attempt to rationally defend this editing. It's a joke,

As far as the editing on the Van Jones tape, it is simply too short and devoid of context to be worth much. I mean he could have been asked, "So what is the basic FoxNews take on the Russia story" to which Jones could have responded "It is basically a nothingburger." It is easy to come up with several equally plausible formulae that would have resulted in Van Jones saying what he said without necessarily ascribing to that view.

The other tape gives us far more material, and though we may be missing some context, he says plenty enough to be able to realize he is speaking his mind on the issue and not being tricked into uttering a sound bite easily twisted.

Whitelash by Van Jones

You make it real, you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuckin’ mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow
You’re thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whitelash

Unless there exists footage that ends with Van Jones' 10 inch dick busting a nut on some young hottie you will never hear me utter the phrase, "I need to see more tape of Van Jones."

You want to see Van Jones' weiner?
