I read this on HuffPo first, including the video below, but couldn't get their website to allow me to copy anything on their page, so I had to go to other sites to get the info to start this thread. Here's HuffPo's article: James O'Keefe Threatens To Release 'Hundreds Of Hours' Of Leaked Newsroom Footage Soon | The Huffington Post

My first thought when I saw the headline, was ... "This outta be good."

Conservative provocateur James O'Keefe is setting his sights on CNN. | CNN Money

O'Keefe said in a telephone interview with CNN on Wednesday that he has "a few hundred hours" of "secretly recorded material" from inside the network. "We're calling it CNN Leaks," he said, drawing inspiration from WikiLeaks' document dumps.

He said "part one" would be published Thursday at about 10 a.m. ET. "This is all legally recorded information," he said, declining to be more specific.

Supposedly this is going to happen tomorrow. We'll see.

Added note: Last year, CNN went after O'Keefe real hard. They tried their best to destroy him. Looks like the footwear may have relocated to the opposite foot.

Welp; all's fair in love and war, so yeah, you're right: this outta be very good. There was a video documentary put out some years ago about Fox News called Outfoxed, but the liberal MSM didn't give it much ink.

Aaand CNN will get pretty pissed off, and what if, as the article says that O'keefe is shootin blanks.

Trump's gonna pay for this one way or the other ya'know.

I don't connect this to Trump, and won't unless he acts predictably childish and tweets some idiotic comment about it.

Truth be told, I'm torn on this one. I don't like either CNN or O'Keefe, so for me it's kinda like this year's Super Bowl, I pulled for both to lose.

Yeah, I don't watch CNN or know anything about O'keefe, that is to say I don't follow him, but I do know that he's not very credible.

I like Chris Cuomo, his work with ABC News form many years was really good. I like Jake Tapper; likewise with CBS News, so I know that CNN isn't full of a bunch of dummies and they do back up what the report, so yeah, I think it's gonna be good. I wish it wasn't so - Jerry Springer this thing, ya'know? Why doesn't this guy O'keefe just do a well researched documentary on CNN the way was was done on Fox News in 1994?
