New York Times reporter: Trump 'pee tape' does not exist

The New York Times reporter who reveals on hidden camera his belief that that media is falsely portraying the Capitol riot also discloses that there's an internal ideological war at the paper with a far-left but influential minority.

And he acknowledges that the "pee tape" in the infamous anti-Trump Steele dossier "doesn't exist," saying it "involved" CIA and National Security Agency sources.

Matthew Rosenberg, in part 2 of Project Veritas' series on the Times national security correspondent, also says he believes the paper may lose the defamation lawsuit that Project Veritas and founder James O'Keefe filed against the paper.

When interviewed later by O'Keefe, Rosenberg said he "absolutely" stands by the comments made in the undercover footage.

See the Project Veritas video:

In part 1, Project Veritas released undercover video of Rosenberg admitting the media’s coverage of Jan. 6 is "over-the-top." And he contradicts his own Jan. 6 reporting, confirming the reporting of alternative media that the FBI was involved.

"There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol,” Rosenberg says. "It was like, me and two other colleagues who were there outside and we were just having fun!"

Has the credibility of the New York Times declined?

Rosenberg says establishment media were "making this an organized thing that it wasn't."

In part 2, Rosenberg speaks about his confidential sources, including the source of the "ridiculous … pee tape." His reference is to the Steele dossier’s claim that a tape existed of Trump engaging in lewd acts in a Moscow hotel room.

The tape, he says, "doesn’t exist."

Rosenberg says that in the New York Times newsroom there is "a real internal tug of war between, like the reasonable people and some of the crazier leftist sh*t that's worked its way in there."

"They're not the majority, but they're very vocal, loud minority that dominate social media and, therefore, has just hugely outsized influence," he says.

That ideological slant, the reporter discloses, is "alienating" the paper's subscribers who he describes as "prosperous."

Rosenberg describes colleagues at the Times as "bullies" and "not the clearest thinkers, some of them." And some are "very neurotic people."

He talks about Times reporter Adam Goldman, describing him as a "terrible writer."

"He's just not good at conceptualizing things. He's not good with words. It’s a skill. It's a hard one.” Rosenberg added that “editors do all his writing for him."

Rosenberg also comments on the Project Veritas defamation suit against the Times.

"James O'Keefe, that was a f*ck up. We may well lose that one," said Rosenberg.
