Jacob Bernstein, a reporter for the New York Times is reputed to having tried to blackmail Montel Williams. Both Williams and his attorney allege that Bernstein would be willing not to reveal Williams’ address if he would take part in Trump bashing over the story the Times is peddling that residents want the Trump name off from their building. Williams has refused and decided to make the blackmail public in order to prevent the Times from revealing his address. Montel Williams lives in a Trump property.
According to Franks, Bernstein replied to a specific request not to print Williams’ address by stating he “would be more likely to extend that courtesy if Montel gave an interview.”
Protecting another person’s privacy, especially the privacy of the ballot box, is not a special courtesy. It’s simply common decency.
The Washington Examiner took their colleagues at The Times to task for this low-life journalism, noting that Williams identifies as a conservative but is not a registered Republican. He endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the 2016 GOP primary and has publicly credited Kasich for bringing him back into the conservative fold.
It’s mere days before the election and Hillary sycophants are worried that she will lose, especially after the FBI announced that their investigation into her emails is now ongoing. The NYT is not above blackmail. They’ve done much worse.
