New York Times Reassigns Reporter Who Had Sexual Relationship With Source
The decision caps a lengthy Times review of Watkins’ behavior with Senate Intelligence committee aide James Wolfe. Wolfe was arrested for lying to the FBI in a leak investigation and his private relationship with Watkins came to light after Watkins’ emails and private correspondence with him were seized by the feds.
In his statement, Baquet also expressed his disapproval for how the situation was handled.
“As an institution, we abhor the actions of the government in this case. Without notice, investigators rummaged through years of a journalist’s phone and email records, an intrusion that puts First Amendment protections at risk,” he said. “It is clear that the government leak investigation was an attempt to interfere with the work of journalists by an administration whose leader has called the media ‘the enemy of the people.’”
So, Trump’s fault.
So today they’re FOR the first amendment?!?! Is that because it’s an even-numbered Wednesday. It’s so hard to know.
Presstitutes have been covering local, regional, national and world events for evaaaa!!
Why is everyone so surprised? Or is that not surprised?
Treat the MSM press like the thing they are. Expect absolutely nothing less or different.
Looks like your the link/title contains a code error…
Remember that these same journalistic Clowns danced and cheered when Trumps lawyer Michael Cohens law office was raided. Thousands of records and emails were stolen.
Where were the Press to defend and demand the First Amendments Rights of the ‘Lawyer and Client Privilege’ and probably 6 other rules of law?
Piss on em,
Welcome to the Beast you load of Asshats.
sigh….that double standard …AGAIN
Without double standards the left would have no standards at all.
Exactly.
The internal memo translated:
“Grrrr, they caught one of our brats red handed cheating. But she’s one of our brats so we have to protect her and we will. She’s going to be run by a ‘senior mentor’ who can smack her head until she learns how to cheat and not get caught. Stupid brat.
But never mind the brat, look over there, it’s a squirrel, a big fat ugly orange Trump squirrel, and the cheating was all his fault anyway.”
… oh! … but only after a lonnnnnng, deeeetailed, thorough, Internal review by the NYT’s managerial staff.
Did that occur before or after the high fives around the conference room table?
Journalists are whores. Is there someone who didn’t know that? The governments crime? Catching the guilty party.
And a frustrated Justin’s statement from the PMO on the topic…..
“How come I never come across the reporters who put out when I go a-fondling?”
There are plenty at the CBC who would, but the HR department won’t let them hire any that are attractive enough that you want them to.
Rosie Barton does it for me. Not lol
This double standard is one of the main reasons why sometimes the media are known as ‘presstitutes’. As well, their blatant bias and outright fake news.
They can’t fire her. She exposed basically everyone she came in contact with and communicated with for four months to FBI surveillance.
And, she never told them it was going on. If they fire her, she becomes “the disgruntled employee.” She, also, would acquire personal counsel to assist in her self-preservation instead of the in-house NYT’s counsel team which protects the paper as a whole on E & O and Professional Liability issues. They’re stuck with her…and I don’t think they are happy about that. The “First Amendment” spiel is window dressing.
Don’t be to hard on the reporter.
The reporter does have human right to have a sex with somebody, anybody, to make reporter feel being part of hupersonskind (claiming copyright).
You don’t want to deny the reporter little bit of pleasure now.
Do you?
Heh …..
Honestly, I doubt this reporter will be experiencing anything near hard these days …
Here is hoping the New York Pravda(Times) has fewer readers then before after their Smear Trump plans back in 2016 The Old Grey Hag this liberal rag needs to lose Subcribers
Does the New York Times have a lifestyles section?
Looking forward to her next piece on “All white bathrooms. Yes or No”?
I’m not sure on this but I read recent that the NYT readership is increasing. Apparently their paywall model is working.
I could try and verify this but can’t be bothered.
I’ll bet she’s excited to start … ahem … “developing” … new sources, in another area of the news. She may learn, however, that “college girls” are a tad bit more alluring than a used, dried-up, old, bitter leftist woman.
Soooooooo……. a NY Slimes reporter was giving away sex for information. In other words, she was/is a whore. That makes the Slimes, as her employer, her pimp.
Is it any wonder that pimps don’t like law enforcement?
That New York Times:
All the news that fit to pimp.
To be blunt, yes.
She will be closely supervised and mentored by Glenn Thrush.
Oh! Regarding that….
Hoop snake!

I wasn’t aware of this tidbit.
“Last fall, after Ms. Watkins and Mr. Wolfe had broken up and while she was still reporting on the intelligence committee for Politico, she briefly dated another staff member at the committee, friends said. That relationship, which has not been previously reported, ended when the two decided not to pursue something more serious,” the Times wrote.”

Geez, if every reporter that f**ked over a source was removed that’d sure thin the herd.
