Notable Quotes
“They're either malicious or incompetent, dumb or diabolical.”
— Tim Pool · describing New York Times journalists
“All these news organizations take the same tact. It's like, oh, we're not actually reporting facts. We don't actually investigate stuff. We're just talking. It's fair. We're just speculating. It's like willful negligence.”
— Tim Pool · critiquing mainstream media practices
“Regular people watching CNN won't hear it. And the people who already like Veritas will and be like, good. But it's a tool for all of you.”
— Ian Crossland · discussing how to use Veritas lawsuits
“The New York Times admits that they don't fact check, they don't research, they don't investigate the stories that they put out as fact. How much influence is that going to have? None.”
— Tim Pool · media credibility discussion
“If you walk up to him and you go, do you see that crazy thing, that lawsuit or something? The New York Times apparently admitted they don't even fact check their stories. Weird, huh? And that's it. That's all you say. It's neutral.”
