A video containing undercover recordings published by Project Veritas on Oct. 10 shows the political bias against President Donald Trump by one of The New York Times editors in its video department.
In the recordings, Nicholas Dudich, the Times’ Audience Strategy Editor for video, claims to have worked for the political campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and shows that he has no problem bringing his political bias into news stories.
When asked by an undercover reporter whether he can make sure his message is heard as a gatekeeper for videos at The New York Times, he replies, “my imprint is on every video we do …. so I like that.”
In a different recording Dudich quips, “I will be ‘objective.’ No I’m not. That’s why I’m there.”

WNU editor: I am posting this story because I have been a New York Times reader since the 1980s ... and I am a current paid subscriber. I have always regarded their coverage of international news to be excellent, while on the flip side I have always regarded their coverage of U.S. politics to be beyond horrible. That is why I am not surprised by this Project Veritas expose .... even if 10% of it is only true, it is a sad indictment of the paper that prides itself to be one of the best in America. And here is an easy prediction .... the Times’ Audience Strategy Editor for video Nicholas Dudich who has been exposed is probably going to be told to resign .... and for the simple reason because he told the truth. On a side note .... and talk about bad timing .... New York Times Op-Ed Nicholas Kristof emailed me this link this morning (yes .... people from the New York Times do read this blog). Even though I am usually in disagreement with Nicholas Kristof, he treats people with respect and consideration .... and he represents what I believe a journalist should be. But Mr. Kristof .... your newspaper has a serious problem if people like Nicholas Dudich are hanging around.
