Journalists grind axes every goddamn day. Unless they totally lose their minds they remember what libel is. Nobody but a lunatic prints this without having things in their pocket.
I think it’s too early to say that, there’s a chance he’s the first Substacker to get sued into oblivion because he’s clearly grinding an axe here

His characterization of their relationship in Part I is that they got each other out of messes. That passage strongly implies he'd already sat on behavior that he should have flagged. (And you'll notice he says nothing about flagging the Sanford affair to her employer -- just their book agent.)

What if Lizza actually did pass this on to New York Magazine and Vox and their lawyers just decided to sit on it? Ryan Lizza is an extremely unreliable narrator but what if he actually passed this on?
If I knew of a journalist doing the things he alleges of Nuzzi, I would notify their employer immediately, turn over everything I had, and shut down any joint projects likewise immediately.
I find his tone distasteful and his metaphors…unweeded…but that is in fact a big ethics violation.

She broke into Corey Lewandowski’s house in 2018. Everyone -and I mean- EVERYONE knew she was unethical. Before that she was cozying up to literal Nazis and was in a group chat with them. She started dating Lizza after it came out that he was sex creep.

He might be the only politician caught cheating who didn’t call his mistress a whore or blame it on booze or something. His original press conference when he came clean was a mess yeah but also surprisingly heartfelt and it always stuck with me.

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

The only person who might look good in any of this is Mark Sanford. I wish I was kidding.

every single person in this story is a monster but the only one I have seen sustained defenses of is Nuzzi and I think everyone doing so needs to sit with the fact that her absolute mockery of the entire concept of journalism has a large and growing body count

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I can’t be sympathetic. Brourman is also cashing in on this.

Where are all of Nuzzi’s defenders now? You know the ones like Ben Smith who started circle the wagons last fall. The ones who congratulated her when she got the job at VF. Where are they now?

Sure, you can make it sound weird if you try, but who among us HASN'T sent a courtroom sketch artist into Mar-A-Lago with a concealed tape recorder in order to secretly record the president's conversations with an eye toward helping our sexting partner, the nation's dangerous anti-vax crusader and s

Olivia Nuzzi is going to take not only political journalism down with her but possibly New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, and Mark Guiducci. Guiducci’s fall won’t vibe immediate. Wintour will let him twist in the wind.

Lizza is not a reliable narrator -with that said- it was weird to see people dismiss these allegations last weekend.
Lizza may be serializing corruption and embodying same but I am in complete shock at what he is alleging she did
