There is just something about them that I have always found off putting, it may just be the editing, but every time I have watched them I just feel like I'm being manipulated. Nothing specific though, just a feeling, which is why I don't bash the guy or anything.
And regarding Bernie, IMO the DNC killed his campaign to support Hillary, I think he was the lefts version of an "anti establishment" politician which is what many people wanted in the 2016 election, so he was used to bait in that crowd before the rug was pulled out and they were left with Hillary.
the reason you feel that way is because Veritas has always used highly selective editing.
they start with a premise "i bet u can buy fetus parts from planned parenthood", then they cast out 500 different fishing poles until they find the one sicko who seems to actually be open to selling fetus parts from a planned parenthood he's associated with. then they edit the video of an interview and run the headline "see planned parenthood sells fetus parts".
there's sickos and bad apples in any group, veritas is good at finding them because they're resourceful, patient, and a dumping station for a lot of people who dont think anyone else will publish their story. they're a good thing for exposing these bad apples, but they only tell a highly selective truth.
