Overfor en undercover-reporter fra Project Veritas med skjult kamera motsier sikkerhetskorrespondent i New York Times, Matthew Rosenberg, sin egen rapportering fra stormingen av Kongressen den 6. januar 2021.
Det som skjedde, var ikke organisert slik mediene fremstilte det, og i folkemengden som stormet kongressbygningen befant det seg mange FBI-informanter, sier Rosenberg – uvitende om at kvinnen han møter i en restaurant jobber for Project Veritas.
I New York Times fremstilte Rosenberg saken helt annerledes:
This revelation is a break from Rosenberg’s reporting on the matter where he characterized such a notion of FBI informants in the crowd as a “reimagining of Jan. 6.”
Også når det gjelder alvorlighetsgraden ved 6. januar 2021 sier Rosenberg én ting som journalist, og en annen ting privat:
Despite telling a Veritas journalist that January 6 was “no big deal,” his article says that downplaying the events of that day was “the next big lie.”
Mediene har overdramatisert det som hendte, og gjort det til noe annet enn hva det var, hevder Rosenberg på opptaket.
Soundbites of Rosenberg published Tuesday show him saying, “It’s not a big deal as they [media] are making it, because they were making too big a deal. They were making this an organized thing that it wasn’t.”
Rosenberg avkrefter også at 6. januar 2021 var en historisk eller spesielt skremmende begivenhet. Selv hadde han det moro:
In the video, Rosenberg also revealed that January 6 was “fun,” a contradiction to his reporting that January 6 was “a violent interruption to the transition of power in American history.”
Rosenberg said, “It was like, me and two other colleagues who were there outside and we were just having fun.”
New York Times’ sikkerhetsreporter har ikke særlig høye tanker om aviskolleger som var skremt:
He even appears to make fun of his New York Times colleagues in one soundbite saying, “I know I’m supposed to be traumatized, but like, all these colleagues who were in the [Capitol] building, and are like, ‘Oh my God it was so scary!’ I’m like, ‘f*ck off!’” He adds, “I’m like come on, it’s not the kind place I can tell someone to man up but I kind of want to be like, ‘dude come on, you were not in any danger.’”
Rosenberg concludes, “These f*cking little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma. Shut the f*ck up. They’re f*cking b*tches.”
New York Times-reporterens selvmotsigelser er bare den siste i rekken av avsløringer som Project Veritas har gjort av fremstående skikkelser i store og toneangivende nyhetsmedier og sosiale medier.
