New York Times Hires "Hack" Who Sent Stories to Clinton for Approval

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 fucked up anything.”

After sustaining criticism that the email amounted to pre-clearing his draft with the Clinton campaign, Thrush tweeted, in part, “Nobody controls my stories but me. Troll on!” Asked about the situation, Thrush said, “Various publications have various policies and I will adhere by the policies of my publication.” Politico’s policy is to “not share editorial content pre-publication except as approved by editors.”

Thrush joins a New York Times that is losing staff. Around 70 New York Times employees have taken buyouts, and layoffs are next. “It really is an incredibly painful situation,” says Thrush. “I wish I was coming in under different circumstances.” Not long after graduating from Brooklyn College, says Thrush, he received his first two journalism job offers as a scab during the New York City tabloid labor disputes of the early 1990s. He declined.

Politico served as a fabulous place to practice his work, says Thrush, who said that two years ago, then-Editor Susan Glasser and Jim VandeHei, a founder of the site, convinced him to stay on. When the “bell rang” this time, however, Thrush couldn’t say no. “You can’t be an eighth-year senior in high school,” he says.

Addressing his work at the Times, Thrush says the newspaper will need to counter the “misstatements of fact” that come from President-elect Trump, though he credited the paper for already excelling on that front. “They view that increasingly as one of their responsibilities,” says Thrush. Monitoring the goings-on at the Trump White House, says the reporter, will be important. “If you’re somebody who does what I do for a living and somebody who wants to continue doing this, this might be the biggest story of your career.”

Got to love it, when they have nothing to defend themselves, attack the messenger, and even go back in time to regurgitate, staple of talk radio

The humor of it all is that probably one in ten conservatives in the United States has ever even read the New York Times yet their so quick to characterize it cause some fat guy on the radio told them it was a commie paper, beautiful
 
As I noted, never even read it, but if rush, Sean, Glenn, Bill and the boys tell them it"s "worthless," it's worthless in their world, exactly how demogoguery makes a few millionaires, one even President

And yet, not one, not even one of those emails was denied by any of the morons Democrats that wrote them.....

Why ?....because obviously they were all true.....

And, I guess that, if true, justifies a foreign nation, a nation antagonistic toward the US, directly playing a role in the American election process. Wierd, now we got conservatives justifying Russia's attacking the US, and at one time they were the evil enemy
