Publisher's summary

The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O'Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work - equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky - has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets.

In American Pravda, the listener is invited to go undercover with these intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask dishonest officials, and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure story on one level, this audiobook also serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed.

This audiobook not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media; it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. O'Keefe's enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O'Keefe every one of these attacks is a sign of success. American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding O'Keefe's activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you hear in the so-called mainstream press.

Stellar!

Okeefe has set the bar and it’s impossible despite all the tens of millions of dollars they have, for the mainstream media to even come close to the new world of citizen journalism. They just don’t have the balls, intelligence, or a desire to be outside of the system.

Excellent Rebuff to Mainstream Media

It wil take many creative truth lovers to counter the biased propaganda presented by mainstream media today. This is one of the stories that will impact history. A good place to learn how you can make a difference for good.

Great listen/read

I got this on audible. I don’t regret it. The story was very interesting. James Okeefe reads it. I appreciate when the author reads the audio book. It was cool to read about the election a year afterwards and hear some of the stuff behind the scenes.
I had seen OKeefs undercover video exposing cnn, but i wasnt familiar with the scope of his work. This book is a good summary of his undercover work. Very entertaining to listen to.

Fantastic

I loved that James O’Keefe himself reads the book aloud; many authors hire someone else to do that. Furthermore, O’Keefe deserves a Pulitzer for so much of his work in investigative journalism, and it would be awesome if he gets one, though I won’t hold my breath.

Veritas

James O'Keefe here as in his reporting tells the truth (Veritas) and can back in up with the appropriate and understandable proof.

This audio will open your eyes to the untruth told by main stream media
giving you a strong urge to find media that will.

#ProjectVeretas

I have enjoyed listening to this book. I am a big fun of authors narrating their own books. If you are not aware of the media bias then this would be an eye opener. Get knowelegeble and support real freedom of speech.
