The New York Times reassigned Ali Watkins, the star reporter who was accused being romantically involved with at least two potential sources, to a new beat outside of the paper’s Washington bureau. The paper’s top editor blasted Watkins’ actions as “unacceptable” but said she deserves a second chance.
The Times announced on Tuesday that Watkins will relocate to New York after an internal review of her romantic history with potential sources. The paper also announced she will receive a mentor and a “fresh start,” executive editor Dean Baquet told staffers.
Last month, a shocking indictment revealed that prior to joining the Times, Watkins, 26, had a three-year romantic relationship with Senate Intelligence Committee aide James A. Wolfe, 58, who was accused by federal prosecutors of lying about leaks of sensitive information to journalists. The indictment strongly suggested he was a source for Watkins and others, though Watkins reportedly has denied using her relationship for scoops.
The Gray Lady then published a blistering report about Watkins, its own employee, which revealed she dated another Intelligence Committee staffer. The report strongly implies Watkins rose to journalistic fame while using her married boyfriend as a source.

Reassigned not fired.
Of course they recycle each other’s trash.
The NYT has no credibility or ethics.
The Old Gray Whore..strikes again...
If sleeping with sources were outlawed, there would be a lot more middle aged male journalists.
Whores are offended you link them to the Old Gray Lady NY Slimes.
The NYT does not know the difference between a Propagndist and a Reporter ..
“””””Sex for secrets?
Reassigned not fired. “””””
She’s a prostitute, Jim.
Apparently they still have need for her talents. And she’ll be able to do some writing, too!
"Mentors" will be lining up for a fresh start, too!
“Sex for secrets?
Reassigned not fired.!
Makes one wonder what pictures she has in her SMA files.
Gives a true meaning of the word Prestitute. Even beer goggles won’t work to make her look minimally acceptable.
So how many Lewinskis did it take for NYT executive editor Dean Baquet to construct this rehab. program for the ho?
How many NYT senior staff said, “Pick me, pick ME!” for the mentoring position?
Feminism made it very clear — it’s perfectly OK for women to be whores. What was unacceptable, was for a woman to be a stay-at-home wife nurturing her own children. Feminism was about ending that practice. Whoring your way to the top? You go, girl!
Plus, she CANNOT be Catholic and be on the Supreme Court.
She slept with two sources as far as they know. I wonder what news she will be covering in New York?
There is no bigger dirtbag in journalism than dean baquet. Only the NYT would hire this slimeball.
And probably true.
