James O’Keefe launched a brand new enterprise enterprise this week after he was ousted earlier this yr from Undertaking Veritas, a company that he based and led since 2010.
O’Keefe launched O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday, promising to be surrounded by “the most elite journalists in the world.”
Undertaking Veritas’ board of administrators mentioned that they needed to make things better with O’Keefe, however that he wouldn’t have contact with them after an incident unfolded in February. The board of administrators alleged that O’Keefe misspent giant sums of donor’s cash and that he broke the group’s bylaws with actions that he took.
“The irony of the ACORN story is that it took a 25-year-old with a hidden camera a few days to do what billion-dollar networks and journalists could not do in a decade,” O’Keefe mentioned in a launch video for his new group. “I spent 14 years creating the most effective non-profit newsroom this country has ever seen.”
“And in paving the way to establish citizen journalism, I have been defamed, arrested, raided, and ultimately removed from the organization I spent so much time developing credibility of,” he continued. “I always knew they would try to ruin the reputations of those who expose them, the pharma giants, the three-letter government agencies, and those who I thought I could trust.”
O’Keefe mentioned that in response to what occurred, he was “going to build an army of investigators and exposers,” and {that a} “sleeping giant” had been “awakened.”
“I’m back. Remaining by my side are a small, tight-knit group of the most elite journalists in the world,” he mentioned. “Exposing corruption requires standing up to power because power hates sunlight. We are sunlight. Welcome to the O’Keefe Media Group, where we will never be shut down because not only do I own it, but you own it, too. Support us and sponsor our army of journalists by becoming a founding member today.”
