NYT’s Reporter Purportedly Steals Reporter’s Scoop And Claims It As His Own

This is Jonathan Martin, NYTs reporter.

He probably stole that fish from some other guy’s bucket.

Whitney Bermes was one of 2 reporters to be given a copy of the citation that was issued by police to republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte. The charge is for assaulting a reporter.

She snapped a picture of it after ripping a piece of paper and putting over the driver license information. She posted it on twitter.

Within the hour the NYTs douchcanoe had it on his Twitter feed saying, “I’ve obtained a copy of the Gallatin Co summons for Gianforte’s assault charge.”

When confronted about the apparent theft he said, “nope. had no idea you posted.”

Uh huh.

Jerk.

Even if someone took it from her timeline and handed it to him he should have asked, “where did you get this?”, you know, as some kind of verification of its authenticity.

At the very least he’s going to have to give up “his source.” Otherwise the tag of thief will stick, as it should.

  1. This reminds me of something a friend told me about when he and his wife first moved to the Bay area in the late ’80’s. This was before CA drivers migrated north and brought their driving habits with them. This one involved their entitled habit of running stop signs. Howard said, on the way to work one morning he witnessed to CA drivers, both running stop signs, nearly missing each other in a T-bone accident. They each stopped their cars and started screaming at each other that that “Was my stop sign!!”

  2. Journalism schools have become sororities for snippy, catty, teenage girls.
    Of all ages. And both genders.
    Predominantly female “faculty” and predominantly female students.

    This partly (only partly) explains why so many “male” press types are now conditioned to write, think and behave like teenage girls.

    And yeah, this guy probably stole that fish.

    Well said BFH.
