NY Times Journalist Caught Admitting J6 Was Overhyped

'I’m like come on, it’s not the kind of place I can tell someone to man up, but I kind of want to be like, ‘dude come on, you were not in any danger... '

(John RansomHeadline USA) In a stunning video, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent Matthew Rosenberg is caught on camera candidly admitting that the coverage of the Jan. 6 Capitol protests has been overhyped by the media and involved many FBI informants, according to video released by Project Veritas.

Rosenberg, who is a national security correspondent for the Times said, “There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol,” and admitted that he and two other colleagues were outside the Capitol “having fun.”

“They were making too big a deal. They were making this an organized thing that it wasn’t,” Rosenberg admitted about the riot.

However, in a piece published just last January for the anniversary of the J6 protests, Rosenberg and his colleagues told a very different story.

The Times co-authors wrote that any attempt to involve the FBI as one of the instigators of the riot was just “The Next Big Lie” by the GOP.

“Assertions of fact — that the riot was conducted by Trump supporters based on lies about the election he legitimately lost — are met with accusations of dishonesty or even disloyalty,” they wrote in the New York Times, which seems a very different characterization than the one Rosenberg made that was caught on camera, laughing off the riot.

“I’m like come on, it’s not the kind of place I can tell someone to man up, but I kind of want to be like, ‘dude come on, you were not in any danger,’” said Rosenberg about his press colleagues who acted “traumatized” by the events on Jan. 6, in the Veritas video.

But in their retrospective, Rosenberg made sure to include this gem from the J6 committee testimony: “’Too many are now telling me that hell doesn’t exist, or that hell wasn’t actually that bad,” Mr. Fanone said in July during one of several emotional moments on the stand’” about the day’s events, wrote Rosenberg and his co-authors.

Yet on video Rosenberg called people with such accounts of the day’s events “These f*cking little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma.”

And added “Shut the f*ck up. They’re f*cking b*tches.”

Mr. Fanone was later hired as an on-air contributor to CNN.

When asked on the Project Veritas video if he would stand by his comments, Rosenberg said, “Absolutely.”
