NYT journalist admits Jan 6 was ‘not a big deal’
A video released yesterday by Project Veritas shows New York Times national security correspondent Matthew Rosenberg revealing that the Capitol breach on January 6th was “not a big deal”.
Rosenberg, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, has personally written some of the New York Times’ propaganda surrounding January 6th. The Times’ narrative matched that of the rest of the mainstream media, which sensationalized the breach and covered it with misinformation.
Some of that misinformation included claims that the pro-Trump protesters were violent and killed four people in the course of entering the Capitol. In truth, however, the one person who died during the breach was Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter who was shot point-blank by security staff without warning. The crowd remained peaceful.
Journalists like Rosenberg helped frame the events of January 6th as an “insurrection” and 9/11-like tragedy, a narrative which is still being milked to this day.
He even penned a piece this January titled “The Next Big Lies: Jan. 6 Was No Big Deal, or a Left-Wing Plot”.
But talking to Project Veritas’ undercover journalist on hidden camera, Rosenberg admitted that January 6th was indeed “not a big deal”.
Rosenberg said that a problem he identified with the mainstream media narrative was that “the Left’s reaction was so over the top that it gave the opening the Right needed to start introducing the idea of ‘woah, these people are out of control’. Like, it’s not a big deal as they’re making it. 'Cause they were making too big a deal.”
In fact, he disdained the younger journalists who did think it was a big deal. While the New York Times is “not the kind of place where I can tell someone to man up,” he said “I kind of want to be like, ‘dude come on, you were not in any danger’...These f*cking little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma … Shut the f*ck up. They’re f*cking bitches,” Rosenberg said of his colleagues.
Then he bragged that it was the New York Times who discovered that there were many FBI informants within the crowd.
“We're the ones, not Fox, not Breitbart, who actually went and uncovered the fact that, like, there were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol,” Rosenberg said.
The mainstream media made concerted efforts to summarily shut down any suggestion that the FBI had placed informants in the crowd to help fuel tensions and cause a riot.
