Washington Post Reporter Admits The Trump-Russia Collusion Story Is A ‘F***ing Crap Shoot’

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

I kind of wish Project Veritas waited to release this, because Matt Lauer is dominating the news cycle, so this is totally going to fly under the radar.

Project Veritas’ latest undercover video shows a Washington Post national security reporter admitting that the entire Trump-Russia collusion story is a “f***ing crap shoot.”

What does it tell you about @washingtonpost's diligence when their editorial writers don't even ATTEMPT to base their arguments in the facts that their own paper is reporting? pic.twitter.com/7SgaXLOPGO

Oh. And he admits that it “maybe it doesn’t exist.” And that there’s no evidence. Uh-huh.

Meanwhile…

Who knew? The Post not only has separate reporting and editorial divisions, but it has careful, thoughtful, and fair-minded reporters! This is just too much. He's blowing the lid off this whole thing.

I’ve never heard anybody at the post say in public “maybe it doesn’t exist” “no story there” “fucking crap shoot” if that’s the truth— why haven’t we heard it? Why does it take @Project_Veritas to expose it? https://t.co/t0Dg35RB8k

Sooooooooooo… you're saying a reporter at a newspaper wasn't willing to make statements that ran ahead of the available evidence? https://t.co/C13yQH0vjJ

The paper makes statements everyday about how big the Russia story. It’s as if the Wash Post editors writers totally ignore the reporting in their own paper and most distinguished reporter who covers the beat — he even says this in the video! https://t.co/m54iLfqLTT

Wait.

Don't we all want media organizations to be skeptical and follow the facts where they lead?

And isn't that exactly what @adamentous is saying? https://t.co/kc6aIYJq7E

Absolutely, that’s the point: we like what Entous and Lemothe say — and they say they are Embarassed by their own newspaper and hysteria and editorial blindness. Their point was why doesn’t their own paper write based on the Russia story instead of what they want the facts to be! https://t.co/rmTHyTwoEc

If their editorials aren’t based on facts and reason -then they are irresponsible. If I wrote an editorial saying smoking is good for you, wouldn’t that be decried in the media? Lamothe and Entous are giving us the facts here: their own paper isn’t listening. https://t.co/rmTHyTwoEc

You caught a Washington Post reporter being objective and saying what national politics reporters say daily: it’s not clear where the Russia story is going.

The most serious beat reporters at the newspaper are saying the Russia story hasn’t proven anything – and the editorial page says its a Home run. If they don’t base editorials in fact and reason, it’s a sensibility based on fake news. https://t.co/Nr6yUkjcAB

The only reason James O'Keefe has a nonprofit at all, & takes in six-figure salary, is bc he's bankrolled by a bunch of far-right billionaire families who want their tax cuts. New story on the funds behind scam org Project Veritas: https://t.co/baIB9JDUQO https://t.co/R1cvP7mSGg

All you have is ad hominem and spin and character assassination. I started this foundation with credit cards and thrift. We are taking on the machine; the Matrix. Two reporters for Wash Post upset at their own paper’s narrative – which contradicts the FACTS they disclose to PV… https://t.co/BSdzpqRiAS

"We're just trying to figure it out. It's very hard." Exactly right. Good job, @adamentous https://t.co/REbSgdnMjj

Yes Great Job I agree with you NYT guy. WaPo guy is also being honest when he says “there is no evidence.” “Maybe it doesn’t exist” “fucking crap shoot. So why doesn’t the WaPo SAY THIS PUBLICLY. https://t.co/wWck9yswHZ

Also, this happened.

To the vandalizers, don't bother coming back. Our cameras already recorded you and we handed to the police. https://t.co/VpCi3Y96Ek

And now BuzzFeed reporters are trying to get dirt on O’Keefe.

They are so desperate to get dirt on @Project_Veritas … now Buzzfeed reporter @Bernstein idea of good journalism is just texting people “have anything good.” Good luck Joe. Cc @BuzzFeedBen @BuzzFeedNews pic.twitter.com/xAFL6bFAv9

A reporter from @BuzzFeed just contacted me and tried to get me to speak negatively about @JamesOKeefeIII. I would give James O’Keefe my kidney if he needed it, because that’s how much I respect him. If you come for O’Keefe, I will come for you. @Project_Veritas pic.twitter.com/NRFEGCAUp7
