Cenk Uygur speaks with Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) about the House Rules Committee calling an emergency meeting to discuss cutting government funding for NPR after the James O'Keefe group Project Veritas released a heavily edited video attempting to smear the organization.

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Isn't O'Keefe guilty of fraud with intent to defame? He has done so much harm.

When will he be held accountable?

[Enthusiast]

2. "When will he be held accountable?"

The way things look now the answer is NEVER. The media will continue to pretend that O'Keefe is a legitimate source.

3. Don't blame O'Keefe, it is not his fault

We all know what O'Keefe is about. He is a lying scumbag who has a goal to throw out these blatant lies to feed into the Fox propaganda machine and then laugh about how it could have possibly worked.

Blame our people... Look at Acorn, it got defunded by OUR ELECTED LEADERS while all of the people in the country that voted for them released a collective WTF!?!?!?! Now, this video which could not have been any more clearly doctored caused the top people in NPR to fucking resign! How does a person who said these things, the one person who would know above anything else what was really said, just resign and basically give somebody like O'Keefe 100% credibility. WE allowed Acorn to be defunded for the same reason, which led to a series of events that allowed this to happen. Buckle down folks, when a ball starts rolling down hill, picking up momentum, it is not easily stopped.

4. Okay, but remember the guy who faked his drug addition book?

He was caught and was discredited.
