Noah Shachtman Defends the Daily Beast Story that Identified the Man Behind the Pelosi Video

RUSH EXCERPT:

SHACHTMAN: “Yeah. But I don’t think it was a pure profit motive. It was a matter of idealogy. He’s a big Trump supporter. One of the things that was interesting to me was you don’t need some sophisticated operation in order to publish fake news or publish a hoax that will grab the country’s attention.”

STELTER: “It doesn’t take a Russian bot farm. It’s one person with video-editing software tricking people.”
