I really love Project Veritas.
I would say there are some errors in their approach and how they do things which has made it much easier for their detractors to attempt to discredit them, and sometimes they don't look at the big picture, but overall the work that they do is some of the more important work in journalism — even if it makes the activist journalists salty and butthurt.
Most of "journalism" these days is abhorrently lazy. Someone will write an entire article based off of a Tweet that has no basis in reality without ever bother checking into the veracity of the statement being made; look at the Rolling Stone article about "Ivermectin overdoses flooding hospitals." After that, every single outlet will essentially copy/paste almost verbatim whatever was written, creating a liberal circle-jerk of lies and deception that they never take responsibility for. In its own way, it incredibly ironic since these same sad losers are the ones constantly screeching about "misinformation." Apparently, it's ok for them to openly spread lies and bullshit, but think everyone else should be censored when speaking about something they don't wish to believe — which typically ends up being true.
We really need more people like PV to get out there and dig up dirt and platform whistleblowers.
I remember when investigative journalism was commonplace, outside of Veritas. Now it doesn't even exist. The Veritas guy said there's little monetary incentive for it.
I believe there's a massive market for it, especially in this day and age. People absolutely adore drama and a good expose; they can't get enough of it — myself included.
It taps into a very voyeuristic part of our personalities where we enjoy seeing the double lives that people are living and the corruption behind the scenes. Honestly, I believe the real problem is that modern media networks are absolutely shit at marketing it and don't know their demographics or how to drive interest.
Who doesn't love a good mystery, some intrigue, and drama? They're sitting on gold but are too scared to rock the boat with their corporate partners and are also so antiquated in their views that it's caused a complete disconnect from the average life in modern society.
The fact that so many executives and marketing teams continue to exhibit failure after failure with mainstream products because they're attempting to appeal to a very niche activist crowd on social media only demonstrates how separated they are from what people actually want.
I just wish they'd get better editors because their videos often look like a parody of a conspiracy theory video from some random YouTuber. I don't get why they seem set on sticking with that style, but maybe it's just me.

Yeah it's not good because a lack of investigative journalism allows corruption to flourish, especially on the local level.
