A new clip released by Project Veritas on Wednesday features a reporter talking about growing ideological tensions within the New York Times.
The video by the conservative group, the second such release in as many days, shows New York Times national security correspondent Matthew Rosenberg claiming there is an ideological divide between the paper’s younger reporters and other, more experienced staffers.
“I think there’s a real internal tug of war [at the New York Times] between, like, the reasonable people,” Rosenberg said in the clip, which was shared with the Washington Examiner, “and some of the crazier leftist shit that’s worked its way [into the New York Times] in ways that we’re deeply unhappy about.”

Rosenberg elaborated on how Ivy League ideologies and liberal ideas promoted at the venerable news institution are working their way into the work done by the journalists there. He also said several of his colleagues do not “write well” and that the far-left ideas being promoted in the New YorkTimes are losing the paper subscribers.
Rosenberg also cast doubt on the existence of the infamous “pee tape,” which he has reported on in the past, that supposedly depicts former President Donald Trump with prostitutes urinating on a Moscow hotel bed in 2013 during a Miss Universe pageant.
“No. Maybe it does,” he said when asked by Project Veritas’s operative if it exists. “I mean, nobody’s ever gonna see it if it does. But it involved people claiming they had it. Which, of course, they didn’t.”
Also discussed was the New York Times’s ongoing legal fight with Project Veritas. Rosenberg called the situation a “f***up” and appeared to share the view that his employer may lose the defamation lawsuit.
On Tuesday, Project Veritas released footage of Rosenberg deriding coworkers for claiming to experience trauma due to being at the Capitol during the riot there on Jan. 6, 2021. He also expressed regret about the constant reporting he did on Jan. 6 and suggested the political Left overreacted to Jan. 6 as much as the political Right underreacted.

It’s unclear based on Project Veritas’s footage when the video was filmed or the full context of the conversations, but Rosenberg appears to be dining out while talking to one or more women.
Project Veritas is an investigative reporting project, led by James O’Keefe, that has a mixed record on its sting operations over the years, including allegations of misleading editing.
The New York Times has not responded to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner.
