Over this past weekend, the front page of New York Magazine’s website advertised: “Yes, the system is rigged.” They should know — their reporters are the ones doing the rigging.
The news that Olivia Nuzzi, a New York Mag reporter, was placed on leave for an inappropriate relationship goes far beyond a Beltway romance. It speaks to how the media — even as they claim to want to “stand up for democracy” — corruptly influence the political process, thereby undermining the democratic values they purport to support.
On Thursday, New York Magazine issued a statement announcing that Nuzzi had been placed on leave because she “acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures. Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign.”
Nuzzi also issued her own statement claiming that “the relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.”
Other reporting indicates that the “inappropriate relationship” was with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., after a magazine profile on him that she wrote, which ran last November. Nuzzi told The New York Times that the relationship lasted from last December through last month.

Not physical like my boot up your a** for continually lying?
Something about ‘if you’re effing the elephants you can’t report on the circus...’ from back when newspapers had a modicum of decency.
What the h#ll is “the relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict”?
Honestly, it doesn’t sound like anything anyone should be clutching pearls over.
If women reporters didn’t sleep with sources there would be a lot fewer women reporters.
Because politicians and "journalists" never lie.
Same rag Michael Wolfe writes for.
But on the other hand, as appalling as Nuzzi’s behavior is, it doesn’t seem that surprising. Countless other “journalists” participated in the cover-up to protect Biden’s flaws in his reelection campaign. Heck, four years ago another reporter flat-out told me her colleagues were deliberately not writing damaging stories on Biden because they didn’t want to be the one to tank his 2020 election bid. Nuzzi just made the fatal mistakes of 1) layering an inappropriate personal relationship on top of typical left-wing bias and 2) saying the quiet part out loud when it comes to the press’ Biden omerta.
She never reported on him directly or used him as a source during their ‘relationship’ either but it is funny that Nuzzi’s statements take on the campaign that RFK Jr was polling competitively and good for American’s to have a third choice were probably the most accurate and unbiased of any reporter or news organization.
Karl Mark owned his own news paper the godfather of the media.
The selective enforcement of ethical standards.
Cable news have spouses, relatives and lovers of government officials repodting on government all the time.
CNN foreign affairs reporter was married to a Clinton State Deoartment official, for example. A brother of a Governor.
And there is the out and out placement of political team members in to the news media as if they are reporters or journalists.
It is a corrupt inner circle cabal and it is accepted by ing orang masses because it is all celebrity and a type of royalty or aristocracy.
What a ridiculous take by Jacob. Nuzzi took a bullet for her CIA/cabal masters to hurt RFk Jr., and she will be rewarded handsomely.
It does violate conflict of interest standards certainly and should have been disclosed. RFK Jr obviously was the one that had the most to lose which is why it wasn’t.
Now wait a dang minute. That’s OMB’s job! 😂👍
Karl Marx never held onto money long enough to buy or build a business. Everything he “owned” was provided him by his buddy Engels or other patrons/suckers.
She’s a sleazy political media whore who tried to trap RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. is one horny dude
Also, she had a sexual relationship with a Trump supporter. She’s definitely out of the high school journalism club now.
What a soap opera!
“...anything anyone should be clutching pearls over.”
Yeah, nothing to see here, right?
It depends what it was. Why go to that extent when run of the mill porn is free at your fingertips so to speak. He can kiss any future political career goodbye if this ever comes out and she has lost virtually everything (finance, job, reputation etc).
