On Monday, The Washington Post announced that it had busted James O’Keefe, the undercover sting journalist responsible for the federal defunding of the Leftist community organizing machine ACORN. O’Keefe reportedly deployed a woman to lie to the Post, claiming to be an old sexual assault victim of Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore — she told the Post she was impregnated by Moore at 15 years old and that he paid for an abortion. But the Post investigated, found out she was lying, and then traced her back to O’Keefe, who apparently was attempting a sting operation aimed at showing that the Post would run unverified sexual assault accusations . . .. . . [T]he story backfired wildly: the Post did its job, tracked down the leads, and not only didn’t print a story about the fake allegation, but tracked it to its source in O’Keefe. Over and over again, O’Keefe’s apparent agent tried to get the Post reporter to discuss the impact of such a story on Moore; each time, the Post reporter redirected to specific questions about the story itself. That adds to the Post’s credibility. It doesn’t detract from it.But in a world of insane distrust of media, none of this may matter. The fact that O’Keefe targeted the Post will be enough to justify his actions to many on the Right; the fact that he did so on behalf of Moore will double the effect.
