New York Times Reporter Maggie Astor changes her tune, originally said Veritas videos have "Solely" unnamed sources but now says they have "Many" unnamed sources.
New York Times legal team cite Wikipedia to justify mischaracterizing Project Veritas.
Project Veritas released a new video today updating the public on the lawsuit against The New York Times for their defamatory article attacking Veritas' September 2020 videos exposing illegal ballot harvesting in Minnesota.
Maggie Astor, The New York Times reporter who wrote the defamatory article, affirmed in her piece that the Veritas videos have "Solely" unnamed sources.
"The video then claims that Democratic operatives connected to Ms. [Ilhan] Omar's campaign paid voters to hand over blank mail-in ballots and filled them out. This would be illegal, but the allegations come solely from unnamed people who speak with Project Veritas operatives in the video and whose faces are not shown," she said.
"Project Veritas bills itself as a 'prominent independent journalistic organization,' but it is described on its Wikipedia page as 'an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe' that 'uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption and is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations, left-leaning groups, and debunked conspiracy theories,'" they said.
New York Times' legal team also labelled Astor's article an opinion piece to avoid Project Veritas' charges of defamation.
