She's only young but she's already made history as the only heterosexual (apparently) women's rower.

The New York Times is doing stories on its own reporter, a perfect instance of meta-reportage, under the pious guise of how the Ali Watkins revelations of sleeping with sources – multiple sources, it turns out – "rattled the Washington media."
Really? Never seen a news agency do a full investigative piece, full of unsourced gossip, about one of its own reporters and her love life, from all her chatty, unnamed colleagues, as straight news. It's actually more like high school. It also suggests that the NYT higher-ups are getting ready to get rid of her. Maybe they care about their credibility after all, the way Abe Rosenthal once did.
Not that the long Times piece as it went out wasn't newsworthy.
Watkins, according to the New York Times story, seems to have been "doing" source after source as the Times' own resident honeytrap journalist, turning the craft of journalism into a KGB-style "swallow" or "sparrow" operation, with plenty more sources than just the now busted Senate Intelligence Committee staffer James Wolfe. Nice way to get scoops and best your competition.
Except that now the readers know.
The Times went through Watkins's career, news agency by news agency, to pretty well attempt to make each one of them look as bad as the Times itself does for hiring her as its star reporter.
The picture they painted shows that so long as the scoops were coming, nobody in any of the cavalcade of news agencies she worked for wanted to look too closely at how she was getting those scoops, or, to put it a bit ickily, know how the sausage was made.

Egad!
Walmart hot.

Abe Rosenthal
No joke. Gives you an idea what pathetic short-peckered losers the men must be.
“They could have at least hired a cute one.”
She may have been cute at one time. But hatred has a way of boiling up to the surface and destroying whatever beauty may have been there.
I used to think that was sad. Now I realize it’s very, very dangerous. She will learn nothing from this. Her next step will be even more unhinged.
Mark my words.
Stay safe, ma’am.

THAT is a honey trap?
Could we see a side-by-side with Helen Thomas to gage where she is on the progression.
The cutout face she is holding up is that of a guy.
Double Standard Alert.
She might be plain looking in the pictures, but she’s a twentysomething former college athlete. I’m sure she was able to keep her sources satisfied.
Not one thing cute about this person.
I am on a phone, so picture resolution is marginal.
If she quits they don’t have to pay unemployment, won’t get sued for various and sundry causes of action favored by the professionally sensitive crowd.
However...did the NYT just engage in slut shaming?
Her next job will probably be with Kamela Harris’ team.
These two have similar work history.
Kind of makes you wonder about Bernstein and Woodward’s “Deepthroat”, maybe more blowing than whistling.
well the old geezer fell for her, did n’t he?? it must have worked. He’s not hot in the least.
Then I am glad I could help. 8>) But it took me awhile to discern what I was actually looking at, so I wasn’t be sarcastic at all.
