The reporters tactics frankly aren't that unethical. It's the story itself that is. He's dredging for info, which is fine. What's not fine is that he's clearly trying to source up a story about how PV is a right wing corporate propaganda site (because they may or may not have taken money from Peter Thiel). It's a stupid, dishonest story, because Wired is itself a big corporate funded rag, run by CondeNast.
Also, PV is a nonprofit that accepts donations, so it's not really a hard hitting story that someone donated to them.

I have Project Veritas as my smile.amazon.com charity. Makes me giggle every time I order something through that commie company.
