Why would you ever let donors or contributors have control of Project Veritas? And undermine your total project or goals in the first place.
Especially in it's infancy by rino contributors like the COCK-Sucker Brothers thru The Greater Houston Community Foundation.
The favorite DAF sponsor of the Right is DonorsTrust. Used heavily by Charles Koch, it pours money into a network of right-wing charities and social welfare nonprofits.
Several members and staff of DonorsTrust have close ties to Koch-backed operations. The related Donors Capital Fund
Knowledge and Progress Fund, a Koch family foundation
The Greater Houston Community Foundation gave close to $116,000 from 2014-18. Donor-advised fund sponsors associated with additional major finance companies, Schwab Charitable and Vanguard Charitable,… and the Jewish Communal Fund
Dunn Foundation-which has Thomas Beach, a DonorsTrust board member and chairman of the Koch-backed Reason Foundation,
The Koch foundations haven't given money to Project Veritas directly, but the group has personal ties to the Koch political network. A 2018 annual review acquired by CMD shows that Project Veritas's vice president of development is Adam Guillette, who launched the Florida branch of Koch's premier political nonprofit, Americans for Prosperity, and worked there for several years. Guillette is also president of Accuracy in Media, a nonprofit that has received funding from DonorsTrust.
Is Project Veritas purposely " due to political motives of the Kock-brothers taken down or James O'Keefe's reputation/position being purposely ruined for political reasons.
Is the RollingStone article BS?
James O’Keefe Put Project Veritas Staff Through ‘Public Crucifixions,’ Leaked Memo Says
The founder of the right-wing nonprofit took a paid leave as his leadership role undergoes a review from its board
The chairman’s position is being considered for removal as the conservative organization is embroiled with complaints of O’Keefe’s “outright cruel” behavior towards employees and disgruntled donors, according to an internal memo signed by a third of its employees obtained by The Daily Beast.
“Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” read another statement released by Strack through a Project Veritas spokesman, per the report.
In February last year, Rolling Stone’s Laura Jedeed attended O’Keefe’s American Muckrake book launch party that included a 50-minute musical-theater production dedicated to telling O’Keefe’s story in song, dance, and strobe light.
As Jedeed pointed out, O’Keefe has an over dozen year track record of dubious reporting practices, and his resume of issuing few retractions is nothing to be proud of: ethical journalists correct their mistakes, O’Keefe doubles down. Veritas reporters have been known to not simply ask questions, but instead actively manipulate and pressure their targets into the reactions, sometimes by going on multiple dates with their chosen targets, sometimes by relentlessly badgering them, sometimes by targeting customer-service workers trained to mollify even the most aggressive and unpleasant customers or risk losing their jobs.
In what seems to be another reference to O’Keefe in the memo, an employee complained about Project Veritas workers being spat on.
The nonprofit group O’Keefe built from a carriage house behind his parents’ house in suburban Westwood, New Jersey has grown into a news organization with a more than $20 million annual operating budget, per the report. With O’Keefe’s leadership position under consideration and what seems to be a slew of unhappy donors and former and current staffers, his reign may soon be coming to a close.
