Internal tensions at the New York Times have reportedly flared after reporter Matthew Rosenberg apparently mocked his colleagues who were “traumatized” by the January 6 Capitol riot and dismissed the “woke” faction of the Times’ newsroom in a Project Veritas undercover video sting.
Politico reported the fallout from the videos:
The videos caused tensions to flare among Times staff, according to more than a half-dozen reporters who were granted anonymity to speak candidly. During the Thursday lunch, multiple reporters said they were upset about Rosenberg dissing their own coverage and badmouthing his coworkers.
Baquet, the Times staffers told us, responded by criticizing Rosenberg for being careless and stupid. But he said that Project Veritas is trying to “make our heads explode” and divide the Times, and that they should not play into the group’s hands. While some reporters told us that management needs to address this issue or even want to see Rosenberg punished, there’s deep concern about fueling Project Veritas’ work.
“I know, I know, I’m supposed to be traumatized. But like all these colleagues who were in the [Capitol] building, and they’re young and are like, ‘Oh my God it was so scary!’ I’m like, ‘Fuck off,’” Rosenberg sneered in the one Project Veritas video.
In a second undercover video, Rosenberg knocked his paper for hiring poor writers and unclear thinkers. “They’re not the clearest thinkers, some of them [NYT Writers],” Rosenberg said. “You’d be amazed. There’s some people who just can’t write very well.”
“[Adam] Goldman. Goldman’s a terrible writer, no, he’s a really good reporter and editors do a lot of the writing for him – he’s a terrible writer,” Rosenberg said. He added that Goldman is “not good with words.”
Rosenberg then cast light on the elitism and condescension within the paper toward its readers.

Truth hurts.
Dragged them where?
He might have dragged them off to have ice cream.
Maybe Chinese food or tacos, how are we to know?
He can drag me off to have tacos any time as long as he's buying.
I'm up for tacos, hell yeah.
Hope someone in the conserva-sphere is working behind the scenes on befriending and getting the guy to come over to the dark side - if the NYT really effs him over he’s gonna have some good beans to spill. The self-redpilled can be fervent warriors.
oh brother, like we need this tension amidst the inflation, war, etc. Reminds me of grade school when my feelings were hurt.
Get over yourselves, people.
Rosenberg was obviously trying to impress his conservative Project Veritas “date” by revealing that despite his position with the NYT, he maintained some connections with the real, non-woke world. He was convincing. I bet he expected a follow-up rendezvous.
Dragged them where?
It's a term that I noticed only lately. I wonder if it is a Brittishism. A few of those have taken hold lately. Like jab.
“who were “traumatized” by the January 6 Capitol riot”
I guess from that if the US ever faced a real foreign invasion those folks would all pass away from fear.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
Proverbs 10:9
Gotta say...I really do love it when they eat their own.
I’d figured you’d be up for pork rinds.
Woke faction? There is another faction there?
“It’s a term that I noticed only lately. I wonder if it is a Brittishism. A few of those have taken hold lately. Like jab.”
“Jab” makes me grind my teeth. Millions jumped on that one like they’d been British their whole lives.
Gotta give credit where it’s due. “Jab” is appropriate when you’re talking about a “vaccine” that doesn’t work. You can’t call it a VACCINE, after all.
But did any of them deny it?
Shined a light on the spiders at NYT, and he is one of the worst? Pulitzer for his made up BS on the Russian Narrative at nyt.
I wouldn't know, never heard of her.
Ditto.
They probably didn't like our word, "shot" as they would associate it with a gun somehow.
“They probably didn’t like our word, “shot” as they would associate it with a gun somehow.”
I can imagine that being the case with the British, but I have no idea why so many here glommed onto that annoying affectation.
