Politico’s Glenn Thrush, who was exposed in WikiLeaks emails sending stories to Hillary Clinton staffers before publication, will be joining the New York Times to cover the White House, The Huffington Post reported Monday.
“We’re thrilled that Glenn Thrush is joining The Times,” Elisabeth Bumiller, The New York Times’ Washington bureau chief, told The Huffington Post. “He’s a premier political journalist, a master of breaking news and long-form story telling and a stellar addition to our White House team.”
While Bumiller described Thrush as a “premier political journalist,” in one email to Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, Thrush chose to describe himself as a “hack.”
“No worries Because I have become a hack I will send u the whole section that pertains to u,” Thrush wrote to Podesta in an April 2015 email. “Please don’t share or tell anyone I did this Tell me if I f-cked up anything.”
Thrush’s email included five paragraphs of a story pertaining to Podesta, and Podesta replied to Thrush telling him there were “no problems” with the writing. Those paragraphs appeared in a May story “Hillary’s big-money dilemma.”
Clinton’s campaign Jennifer Palmieri also got to look over Thrush’s writing. In another April 2015 email, Thrush wrote, “pls read asap — the [Jennifer Palmieri] bits — don’t share.” This email included eight paragraphs of uncritical writing on Palmieri.
Palmieri forwarded Thrush’s email to Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook among other staffers, and said, “He did me courtesy of sending what he is going to say about me. Seems fine.”
The portions Thrush emailed Palmieri ended up mostly unchanged in the column “Quiet, please. Hillary’s running.”

Following Trump election, the Times’ public editor wrote that the paper will be making a conscious effort to not be “an echo chamber of liberal intellectualism.”

Good.
Keep giving us the rhetorical clubs to beat you to death with Fake Media.
Guess what, EVERYTHING the NY Times publishes about the Trump WH going forward is now discredited due to their insistence in using a corrupt source.
First off, the Trump administration should deny or pull any WH credentials he has or tries to get.
The Ministry of Propaganda knows nothing but propaganda.
They have completely lost all objectivity.
Hold on...
Let me put on my shocked face.
Fake reporter will report fake news from Trump White House.
Good hire by the New York Times.
Ignore the collusion between the dems and clinton campaign. Ignore the fixing of the dem primary. The russians might have hacked these emails. That is what is really important. Not the content of any of the emails.
This is the narrative that even fox news is putting out. They are not forcing the dems to defend their actions.
Absolutely.
Baring that every time this clown asks a question the press secretary should ask him if he is going to run his story past the democratic leadership before he publishes it.
Trump should toss the Times out of the briefing room. Or he should hold special briefings with press that actually do their jobs. Draining the swamp should include the press.
It is far easier to not let the old gray whore in to begin with. Let her gaze wistfully from Lafayette Park
btt
I agree. Absolutely should pull his WH credentials.

I agree.
Too late. Many already consider the times an Echo Chamber Of Liberal Intellectualism
He won’t be able to get a job with a small town newspaper with that on his record, but to the NYTimes, his actions were a resume enhancer. He’s shown his allegiance to “the cause” and demonstrated that his personal ethics won’t get in the way of supporting it.
I’m surprised the Washington Post didn’t outbid the Times for his services.
Grampa Dave, Thanks for the heads up.
