I appreciate O'Keefe and all that he has done。 Unfortunately， this might not be his strongest medium。 I appreciate O'Keefe and all that he has done。 Unfortunately， this might not be his strongest medium。 。。。more

The information in this book is very important， but it’s not a fun read。 It took me a few weeks to finish it。

very well done and sourced。 Legacy media: this is journalism。 Pay attention。

If you've watched the videos， you've ready about 80% of this book。 It's just told in a way that is linear and allows you to see behind the scenes。 There is no veil， so if you want to know how they work behind the scenes， you can get that from this book。It was boring to read at times， though。 Doubly so if you've seen the videos。 And， like every first edition， there were a few typos here and there， which my inner grammar Nazi picked up quite readily -- like I do with all my first edition books。The If you've watched the videos， you've ready about 80% of this book。 It's just told in a way that is linear and allows you to see behind the scenes。 There is no veil， so if you want to know how they work behind the scenes， you can get that from this book。It was boring to read at times， though。 Doubly so if you've seen the videos。 And， like every first edition， there were a few typos here and there， which my inner grammar Nazi picked up quite readily -- like I do with all my first edition books。The part that I found quite interesting was the breadth of resources cited。 And it's quite obvious that these books and resources were read and analysed， not just flipped open and quoted for use。 And these citations were from all political and cultural bents， not just one。The last chapter is more quixotic than the previous chapters。 In a way， it was moving。 And in another way， it was eye-rolling。 Not all people want to be muckrakers like he seems to be calling for。 Whistleblowers when values go against being a decent human being according to their personal values？ Only the very rare person willing to risk everything for those values。 。。。more

I admire the work of Project Veritas。 While this is the best of O’Keefe’s books to date， I did find it to be repetitive at times。 Regardless， I see this text as a must-read for anyone studying journalism today。

inspiring and hopefulIf you’ve ever wanted to give up hope that the country can shed its corrupt leadership and institutions， Muckraker will provide some hope。 It inspires one to be brave and speak up about injustices one knows about。

May His Tribe IncreaseWe need more muckrakers。I hope many are inspired by this book to be brave and do what’s right。 Fear of discomfort and the disapproval of our chattering classes and elites causes real world damage to our society （now and in generations to come）。

More James O'Keefe GoldIt's the the incredibly small circle of brave Patriots like the PV team， especially James， that reminds us of the importance of holding the corrupt MSM to some standard of decency More James O'Keefe GoldIt's the the incredibly small circle of brave Patriots like the PV team， especially James， that reminds us of the importance of holding the corrupt MSM to some standard of decency 。。。more

If you’re content with the government taking care of you， this book is not for you。I have loved following the story and journey of Project Veritas。 James O’Keefe is inspiring and paving the way for many of us to be brave and do some thing。 It’s shocking to hear again the retelling of how many times people have managed to avoid being accountable for flat out lies and dishonesty。 It is not until we all stand up and say enough is enough that this will change。 We have let them get away with it for f If you’re content with the government taking care of you， this book is not for you。I have loved following the story and journey of Project Veritas。 James O’Keefe is inspiring and paving the way for many of us to be brave and do some thing。 It’s shocking to hear again the retelling of how many times people have managed to avoid being accountable for flat out lies and dishonesty。 It is not until we all stand up and say enough is enough that this will change。 We have let them get away with it for far too long。 Reading this book will inspire you and help you recognize that you’re not alone。 But sometimes you have to be the first to speak out to find that others are standing with you already。 。。。more

I was probably spoiled for this book by the fact that I have been aware of project Veritas and the subject matter of this book for a while， so nothing was really new information for me here。 It's an interesting summation of events over the last few years， but other than that it felt a little whiny at times and almost read like the author explaining his grudges to the reader， rather than anything more interesting。It's worth reading if you're completely new to project Veritas and the stories that I was probably spoiled for this book by the fact that I have been aware of project Veritas and the subject matter of this book for a while， so nothing was really new information for me here。 It's an interesting summation of events over the last few years， but other than that it felt a little whiny at times and almost read like the author explaining his grudges to the reader， rather than anything more interesting。It's worth reading if you're completely new to project Veritas and the stories that they break， but otherwise I think you are safe to skip this one。 。。。more
