Exclusive: NYT White House correspondent Glenn Thrush’s history of bad judgment around young women journalists Several women told Vox about their experiences with the star reporter, and the Times has suspended him pending an investigation.
Several women told Vox about their experiences with the star reporter, and the Times has suspended him pending an investigation.
Sexual harassment claims against yet another powerful man in media inspired New York Times White House correspondent Glenn Thrush to post an impassioned note on his Facebook page in October, calling on his fellow journalists to stand by women entering the field.
In the post, which linked to an article about the latest accusations against political journalist Mark Halperin, Thrush wrote, “Young people who come into a newsroom deserve to be taught our trade, given our support and enlisted in our calling — not betrayed by little men who believe they are bigger than the mission.”
It was a noble statement — but some Washington journalists I spoke to say it rings hollow, given Thrush’s own behavior with young women in the industry.
“He kept saying he’s an advocate for women and women journalists,” a 23-year-old woman told me, recounting an incident with Thrush from this past June. “That’s how he presented himself to me. He tried to make himself seem like an ally and a mentor.”
She paused. “Kind of ironic now.”
Thrush, 50, is one of the New York Times’s star White House reporters whose chronicles of the Trump administration recently earned him and his frequent writing partner Maggie Haberman a major book deal.
Thrush and the young woman met at her colleague’s going-away party at a bar near the Politico newsroom, she told me,and shared a few rounds of drinks in a booth.advances.

I’m getting kinda’ tired of all this BS. So a lady gets a hand on her rear end, or an unexpected kiss. Sorry, that isn’t RAPE ... that’s RUDE and a good way for a gal to haul off and deck you like you deserve. These people are getting rape mixed up with bad behavior ... and there is one helluva difference. The discussion today is downplaying rape ... it should be right up there with murder. You can’t compare a pat on the butt with murder ...
Quite fittingly, thrush is a form of oral candida.....
