The Spin
Right narrative
The DOJ's behavior towards Project Veritas is a clear violation of the group's First Amendment rights. There is nothing to indicate that it obtained Biden's daughter's diary unlawfully, and the group is being persecuted by the federal government.
Left narrative
Project Veritas is an inflammatory far-right group that regularly engages in unethical journalistic behavior in pursuit of perceived political opponents. Since it does not abide by the ethical standards of journalists, the group should not enjoy the privileges afforded to them.
