Being hated on the basis of something one says is a good heuristic for me, as a free speech advocate, to decide whether or not I respect someone for their courage. So long as someone says something they think is important. Perhaps you do not agree with their journalistic methods but you're attacking the messenger and not the idea presented.
Their "journalistic methods" are fraud, full stop. It's fabrication. Nothing they've ever released has been true, it's all either lies or heavily edited footage that draws a conclusion that is the exact opposite of the truth.
Great source.
