Media Outlets Debunk CMP’s Fraudulent Claim That Its Work Is “Investigative Journalism”.
Despite the indictment by a grand jury and numerous lawsuits over Center for Medical Progress (CMP) founder David Daleiden’s attempts to smear Planned Parenthood, right-wing media have claimed that CMP’s deceptively edited videos are “investigative journalism.” Other media outlets have rejected this claim, confirming that CMP’s videos are misleading, fraudulent, and, above all, not journalism.
Columbia Journalism Review: Daleiden’s Work “Doesn’t Qualify As Journalism On Legal Or Ethical Grounds.”
After a “close analysis” of CMP’s videos and methods, the Columbia Journalism Review reported that Daleiden’s work “doesn’t qualify as journalism on legal or ethical grounds.” In the report, Ted Andersen cited experts and case law to explain why Daleiden’s appeal to specialized First Amendment protections would be unpersuasive in court.
