The entire right wing movement in adopting journalism rights when it is political dogma, rhetoric adn propaganda and nothing more is long lived.
Hannity's America features a segment on The Advocate's (click here) 7-state investigation into Planned Parenthood's dirty money--employees accept donations from racists to abort Black Babies. Planned Parenthood has been targeting minorities since it was founded by elitist Margaret Sanger, who wanted to use abortion to control and limit minorities...And with almost 80% of Planned Parenthood clinics in minority neighborhoods, with African American women almost 4 times more likely than whites to abort, Planned Parenthood's founder's vision is lived out today...By killing over 1400 Black babies a day, Planned Parenthood and abortion affiliates are accomplishing what the KKK could only dream about...Don't excuse this kind of killing. Demand that the Federal Gov. cut the $300 million a year in tax money that it gives Planned Parenthood.The Advocate is an independent student magazine at UCLA.

For sometime O'Keefe has been creating lies to back his politics. Veritas is nothing new for O'Keefe as CEO. He is still producing political propaganda and not even close to journalism. The premise for the lawsuits are incorrect. Project Veritas is a political organization KNOWN to have lies and falsehoods leveled as part of their politics.
Margaret Sanger, as a young public health nurse, witnessed the sickness, disease and poverty caused by unwanted pregnancies. She spent the rest of her life trying to alleviate these conditions by bringing birth control to America. During the early 20th century, the idea of making contraceptives generally available was revolutionary. Contraceptive usage was considered a distinguishing feature of the 'haves.' In recent years, some revisionist biographers have portrayed Sanger as a eugenicist and a racist. This view has been widely publicized by critics of reproductive rights who have attempted to discredit Sanger's work by discrediting her personally. The basic concept of the eugenics movement in the 1920s and 1930s was that a better breed of humans would be created if the 'fit' had more children and the 'unfit' had fewer. This concept influenced a broad spectrum of thought, but there was little consensus on the definitions of fit and unfit. In theory, the movement was not racist--its message intended to cross race barriers for the overall advancement of mankind. Most eugenicists agreed that birth control would be a detriment to the human race and were opposed to it. Charges that Sanger's motives for promoting birth control were eugenic are not supported. In part of her most important work, "Pivot of Civilization," Sanger's dissent from eugenics was made clear. By examining extracts from her books, the author refutes the notion that Sanger was a eugenicist. Another unsupported argument raised by the anti-Sanger group was that Sanger, in her position as editor of "Birth Contol Review," published eugenicists' views. It would be more accurate to say that the review covered a wide range of opinions and research; the eugenicists views were included because they conferred respectability. David Kennedy, author of "Birth Control in America," does Sanger a grave injustice by falsely attributing to her the quotation: 'More children from the fit, less from the unfit--that is the chief issue of birth control.' This quotation should be attributed to the editors of "American Medicine." The only area Sanger is in agreement with the eugenicists is in her belief that severely retarded people should not bear children. Several authors, including Linda Gordon, argued that Sanger's interest in providing contraceptives to black Americans was motivated by racism. This notion is entirely misconstrued by distortions of language quoted by Sanger. Rather than wanting to exterminate the Negro population, Sanger wanted to cope with the fear of some blacks that birth control was the white man's way of reducing the black population.
Everyone knows abortion is about socio-economic disparities and not that of racism. Margaret Sanger wrote and in that reflected a revolution for the USA introducing birth control to promote the HEALTH AND WELL BEING of women unable to care financially for a family. The idea this is racism, isn't accurate.
Sanger's focus was empowerment and brought opportunity to Black Women to decide about their future and that of their children. If Black Women are a majority of abortions (I don't recall anything like that reported anywhere) it is because racists in government did exist and through neglect of the Black population in the USA created great disparity in wealth and income.
The burden of a Black Woman with family disintegration and oppressive forces within the American society would provide a greater accent on Black Women for the same reasons White Women sought birth control and abortion. Nothing is different for minority women in acceptance of their decision to abort or use contraception. The failure of the USA to adequately address racism put a larger burden on Black Women in deciding about their reproductive rights.
This early work by O'Keefe defined his future. He was a right wing political extremist that carries PLAUSABLE lies and falsehoods into films designed to discredit opposing parties, candidates and VALUES. There is absolutely no reason why such extremist political views can't be exposed for what they are and to that end the lawsuit against the New York Times is extremely wrong and anti-American.
It is my best estimation that Project Veritas is producing video to create the "Big Lie" as reality. He needs to be exposed and the judge in the case is grossly out of touch with what occurred on January 6th.

Two anti-abortion rights activists (click here) who covertly recorded themselves discussing fetal tissue with Planned Parenthood staff are facing felony charges in California, for allegedly violating state law by filming people without their permission.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced the charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt on Tuesday, saying the state "will not tolerate the criminal recording of confidential conversations."
In a statement, Daleiden called the charges "bogus" and reiterated claims that Planned Parenthood has violated the law by selling fetal tissue — an allegation that has been investigated by more than a dozen states, none of which found evidence supporting Daleiden's claim....
...Last year, a grand jury in Texas was examining Daleiden's allegations. The grand jury determined there was no sign of criminal wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood.
Instead, in a surprise twist, it indicted Daleiden and Merritt on felony charges of using fake drivers licenses to gain access to a Planned Parenthood meeting. They also indicted Daleiden on misdemeanor charges of trying to buy human tissue — the kind of misconduct he was trying to pin on Planned Parenthood...
The fraudmakers were not only facing criminal indictments, but, liable suits as well.

Planned Parenthood (click here) was awarded as much as $2.2 million in damages on Friday, after a federal jury in San Francisco ruled that an anti-abortion activist had broken federal and state laws when he secretly recorded workers for the organization.
The activist, David R. Daleiden, recorded the videos in 2015 in an attempt to show that Planned Parenthood was illegally selling fetal tissue, a claim that created a political uproar and mobilized conservatives against the organization.
Mr. Daleiden, the leader of a group called the Center for Medical Progress, posed as a biotechnology representative to make the recordings. The jury found that he had trespassed on private property and committed fraud, according to court papers. Planned Parenthood said in a statement that the jury had ruled in its favor on each of its claims, including a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act....
