This is part three of their American Pravda NYT investigation.<\/p>\n<p>When confronted with the notion that during the election,\u00a0<em>The Times<\/em>&#8216; front page, for which she is responsible, was completely focused around Trump. She tells the undercover journalist that NYT reporters tried to influence the election with their reporting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think one of the things that maybe journalists were thinking about is like&#8230;Oh, if we write about him, about how insanely crazy he is and how ludicrous his policies are, then maybe people will read it and be like, oh wow, we shouldn&#8217;t vote for him.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She admits that the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0has a clearly defined liberal-leaning bias: &#8220;<em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0is not&#8230;I mean, it&#8217;s widely understood to be liberal-leaning. But, American newspapers are not supposed to claim a bias, they&#8217;re supposed to be objective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the&#8230;ahh, but the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0is not left?&#8221; the\u00a0<em>Project Veritas<\/em>\u00a0journalist asked. Shoe clarified, &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that they&#8217;re not. I&#8217;m saying it&#8217;s widely, widely understood to be left-leaning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also tells the undercover journalist that reporting objectively is simply too difficult for the\u00a0<em>Times<\/em>: &#8220;Our main stories are supposed to be objective. It&#8217;s very difficult in this day and age to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shoe blames the business model for the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>&#8216; lack of fact-based reporting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is what I was trying to say is like the last couple years it&#8217;s changed for the bad&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think the business model itself is just&#8230; there&#8217;s so much panic about what to do that, you know, what else is a company supposed to do?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the conundrum&#8230;is that a business model, in this time is built on what the readers want.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0senior homepage editor goes on to explain the positive effect of Trump&#8217;s victory: &#8220;Since the election, like you know&#8230;Speaking on, you know, for\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>, our subscriptions have sky-rocketed since&#8230;I mean, they call it the Trump bump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This sentiment was echoed by Nick Dudich, who was featured in American Pravda\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/breaking.projectveritas.com\/NYTimes1.html\">Part 1<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/breaking.projectveritas.com\/NYTimes2.html\">Part 2<\/a>. He explains, &#8220;I mean honestly, Trump has driven us more business than anybody else. Anytime he says failing, we add a boost of subscribers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0responded to Part I in a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/10\/10\/reader-center\/project-veritas-video.html\">statement<\/a>, calling Dudich &#8220;a recent hire in a junior position.&#8221; Later, Executive Editor of the NYT\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9NykOtRVjkE\">Dean Baquet described Dudich<\/a>\u00a0as &#8220;a kid&#8230;who just started his career in journalism.&#8221; The same cannot be said for Ms. Shoe, a senior-level employee who has been with\u00a0<em>The Times<\/em>since January of 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Des Shoe claims that the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0has to chase clicks in the current media environment, &#8220;The\u00a0<em>Washington Post<\/em>, people who have paywalls up&#8230;The main objective is to grab subscribers. You do that any way that you can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When told the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0seems more like a &#8216;click-paper&#8217;, Shoe replies:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I mean, you&#8217;re not wrong. Like, I would love to be able to speak my mind completely about&#8230;If I ever leave the\u00a0<em>Times<\/em>\u00a0I&#8217;ll go back to you guys and tell you exactly what I think. But, I mean, there&#8217;s stuff like&#8230;And this is what I was trying to say is like the last couple years it&#8217;s changed for the bad.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shoe finally goes on to explain her personal biases against President Trump, &#8220;I feel like Trump is&#8230;is just a&#8230;is sort of an idiot in a lot of ways. Just an oblivious idiot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also attacks Vice President Mike Pence, implying that his religious beliefs make him unfit to lead:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you impeach him, then Pence becomes President, Mike Pence, who&#8217;s f***ing horrible&#8230;I think maybe, possibly worse than Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s extremely, extremely religious. He [Pence] at one point backed a bill that hinted at conversion therapy for gay people&#8230;Which is like electrocution, stuff like that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Corruption is inescapable within the mainstream media machine. From the\u00a0<em>Times<\/em>\u00a0editors that dictate the paper&#8217;s coverage to the journalists that try to sway the public with their reporting,&#8221; says\u00a0<em>Project Veritas<\/em>\u00a0founder James O&#8217;Keefe. &#8220;In American Pravda, truth takes a back seat to money, and objectivity takes a back seat to politics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/breaking.projectveritas.com\/NYTimes3.html\">http:\/\/breaking.projectveritas.com\/NYTimes3.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=86827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86827\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=86827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=86827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=86827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
