Emphasis on tried:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approached-the-post-with-dramatic--and-false--tale-about-roy-moore -sje-appears-to-be-part-of-undercover-sting-operation/2017/11/27/0c2e335a-cfb6-11e7-9d3a-bcbe2af58c3a_story.html

A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moores candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. The organization sets up undercover stings that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias.

James OKeefe, the founder of Project Veritas who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2010 for using a fake identity to enter a federal building during a previous sting, declined to answer questions about the woman outside the Project Veritas office, a storefront in Mamaroneck, N.Y., on Monday morning shortly after the woman walked inside.

I am not doing an interview right now, so Im not going to say a word, OKeefe said.

n a follow-up interview, OKeefe declined to answer repeated questions about whether the woman was employed at Project Veritas. He also did not respond when asked if he was working with Moore, former White House adviser and Moore supporter Stephen K. Bannon, or Republican strategists.

The groups efforts illustrate the lengths to which activists have gone to try to discredit media outlets for reporting on allegations from multiple women that Moore pursued them when they were teenagers and he was in his early 30s. Moore has denied that he did anything improper.

A spokesman for Moores campaign did not immediately respond to a message for comment.

The woman who approached Post reporters, Jaime T. Phillips, did not respond to calls to her cellphone Monday morning. Her car remained in the Project Veritas parking lot for more than an hour.

After Phillips was seen entering the Project Veritas office, The Post made the unusual decision to report her previous off-the-record comments.

We always honor off-the-record agreements when theyre entered into in good faith, said Martin Baron, The Posts executive editor. But this so-called off-the-record conversation was the essence of a scheme to deceive and embarrass us. The intent by Project Veritas clearly was to publicize the conversation if we fell for the trap. Because of our customary journalistic rigor, we werent fooled, and we cant honor an off-the-record agreement that was solicited in maliciously bad faith.
...
That same day, Gateway Pundit, a conservative site, spread a false story from a Twitter account, @umpire43, that said, A family friend in Alabama just told my wife that a WAPO reporter named Beth offer her 1000$ to accuse Roy Moore. The Twitter account, which has a history of spreading misinformation, has since been deleted.

I'm afraid it's pretty much over for Doug Jones since Trump gave a ringing endorsement for Moore on twitter and Alabama republicans are pretty despicable.

Glad that the Post shut this down real quick though. Ever since their initial story republicans and many church officials have been looking for any and every way to discredit it.

the polls weren't so far off nationally, and I don't think anyone did polls for the presidential race in Alabama anyway

those polls are incredibly close and Jones could lose even if they are right, though

That's the exact end goal and the same tactic they always use. They wanted to get the Wash Post on a hidden camera saying "If you come forward with your story then this will cause Roy Moore to lose the race". When they didn't buy into her bullshit fake story she doubled down in her efforts

Oh and let's not forget Trumps personal charity itself donated $10,000 to Project Vertias. But I'm sure it's all for positives

Lulz... sure. Heres the thing: Republicans are reaching a tipping point. This is as good as it gets for republicans and they still cant push legislation. Infighting between conservatives is at a all time high and they wont get away with blaming liberals because it doesn't make sense. Liberals need to sit back, stay quiet, grab some popcorn, and watch republicans crumble. At this point the only thing uniting Republicans is the SJW smoke-mirror. They dont agree with policy and its going to come and bite them

Ive seen idiots parroting his bullshit so many times that I dont believe this. People still bring up PP selling fetuses because they got duped by one of his shitty videos and never want to admit it.

Yeah, Project Veritas is like the Bible to the conspiracy theorists and hardcore righties.

There was actually one guy on this board that pushed O'keefe's stuff pretty hard. I remember a multi-page topic where he argued with people over him getting busted with that acorn shit. I don't recall their username though
