New York Times Magazine, Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner Profile
The New York Times Magazine published a lengthy profile of Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner, titled "The Private Life of a Former Power Couple." The piece, written by Jonathan Van Meter, is characterized as a "hagiography" and a "puff piece" intended to benefit Hillary Clinton. Van Meter previously wrote similar favorable articles for Vogue and is expected to receive an exclusive interview when Clinton announces a future political run.

00:00 We gotta reunite these countries, put the Disneyland in there and just go have some fun. Adam Curry John C. Dvorak It's Sunday April 14th 2013 time for your good donation Media Assassination episode 504 This is no agenda From the Travis Heights hideout, we're SoCoMeetsMoFo in Austin Texas. In the morning everybody I'm your keyboard cowboy! I am Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where i'm reading tweets...I'm John C. DeBorah That's for our Spanish listeners Yeah well we have to get rid of it We know that Spanish listeners are way on board with conspiracy theories so yes I decided to up my game They don't have conspiracy theories
00:49 Correct. We have conspiracy fact. Conspiracy fact! So, I don't know how much they have to pound us with this but today's New York Times... Sunday New York Times... You should dig around while we're doing the show and see if you can find the cover of The New York Times Magazine Okay And uh..you'll see A giant photo of Uma and Anthony. Wait, but isn't this the article that we read from? Wasn't that actually in the New York Times Magazine? No, this is today's New York Times magazine! Oh really?!
01:34 Yes, it just came out today. Today! Wow let me see... It looks like the same hagiography but longer. Is it written by the same dude? Yep. Same shill. Jonathan Van Meter. They do have that one set of commonalities they have that one picture of them sitting at their desk I don't see it. I'm looking for but I don't see it online anywhere. Well, I don't know if they put the New York Times Magazine photos online Anyways like a longer...I think it's the same article or at least a longer version But why do you run it twice? Well because it's important in the paper then your running into New York Times magazine and give them their front page with giant red letters Uma and Anthony private life of a former power couple
02:20 Because, you know... Well here's a small prediction then. The weird thing is that I hate to say this because i don't really care but you do look to see if his jeans are unzipped That's not even worth an in the morning. That was really not good. It must be funny but thats exactly what everyone will do. No. Plus like a couple head shots and again Even that doesn't get any in the morning from me No, I think it's a very simple to predict that the New York Times in the form of Mr. Van Meter there will have a huge exclusive interview with Hillary Clinton That's why this is happening because that's you know he does all the Hillary puff pieces He did the Vogue piece. He did the behind-the-scenes with Hillary All of that stuff is what this guy does so yeah This has been pushed and then there's a quid pro quo for that
03:12 So, you know... Wait wait wait. The quid pro quo from who? From Hillary! He's doing them a favor?! No he is doing it to get Hillary in the big exclusive when she announces or something It'll be something like that You're saying that he is doing this hazy irony for the benefit of Hillary Yeah, of course Her girlfriend Yeah, that's her. Uma is her girlfriend of course and the whole thing was always it was always set up that way for and we went through all this Anthony wasn't gonna become yeah We did as a mayor so we don't need to go through it any longer Okay I got the Hillary did crop up though over the weekend actually It was I guess on the fifth that she really showed up at this woman's conference again
