Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Artistic license;

Susan Fowler, an opinion editor at the New York Times tweeted ‘The whole “female journalist sleeps with a source for a scoop” trope doesn’t even make any sense tbh like what does Hollywood think journalism is???’ By the end of the night on Monday, ‘Eastwood’ was the top trend in the United States.
 
Susan Fowler apparently doesn’t read her own newspaper, which just last year reported on the three-year affair between (surprise), New York Times reporter Ali Watkins and James Wolfe, a senior aide to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and a frequent source for her stories. In October of this year, an employee of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency was arrested for leaking classified material to two reporters, one of which he was involved in a romantic relationship with (this was allegedly CNBC reporter Amanda Macias.) It should be noted that both Watkins and Macias are still employed by the Times and CNBC. Not only does it appear the practice of sleeping with sources for information is more than a mere trope, it seems it’s something not punished by newsrooms.

And those are just the ones who’ve been caught.

  1. If that’s how it’s done, I’d expect Amanda Macias to get slightly better stories than Ali Watkins does.

  2. I heard Hillary was back on the Howard Stern show, do you think she still likes Howards dick better than Bill’s

    MSNBC Andrea M… got direct information (her ears where open) during BJ’s of Bill Clinton….Monica was jealous….

    Life would be so dull without SEX …Get it on & STFU

  3. I seem to recall a good deal of ‘artistic licence’ being utilized in the dialogue of Vice. But that’s alright, the subject(s) were Cheney and Dubya. I will gladly patronize the theater that screens Jewell.
