The footage shows a drive-through testing site in Grand Rapids, Michigan being set up so it looked like there were more cars lined up:

Like firefighters running towards a story — or if there’s no fire, make sure somebody first starts one:

MARIA: I assumed she was looking for volunteers to go out & drive to the tent
PV: Did she tell you guys like,”Hey you’re not actually getting tested”
MARIA: Yeah
PV: Oh, OK
MARIA: She did. She said she wants to make it look busy for the news #ExposeCBSpic.twitter.com/rxfxmaLxEN

O’Keefe has some questions:
Did @GayleKing or @CBSNews reporter @adrianasdiaz know their team staged the #COVID19 testing segment? #ExposeCBS https://t.co/HaCRnQsP5h
— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) May 6, 2020
CBS News acknowledged removing the footage from their piece but denied they had anything to do with the staging:
Wow, Bravo @Project_Veritas
CBS acknowledges that they ran a staged segment, albeit they say they were unaware, and have pulled the clip in question

Even Snopes pointed out CBS ran fake footage beforehttps://t.co/SdRFzEAM5X

Another banner day for the mainstream media!
Does the mass media really wonder why we don't believe them anymore?

This is messed up. These people are literally risking their lives and @CBSNews is asking them to stage testing?

We’re not sure if President Trump is referencing the Veritas story, but he did tweet this out right on cue:
The Fake News has reached an all time high!
