Emily Jashinsky characterizes the New York Times' decision to print uncorroborated, ideologically motivated allegations as egregious and biased.

“That's where it I think is very biased and in my opinion egregious.”

Krystal Ball believes the New York Times misled their source by suggesting other women would provide similar allegations in order to encourage her to go on the record.

“I don't rule out that the times came to her and in order to encourage her to put whatever she was going to say on the record that they claimed they had more than they actually claimed than they actually had”

The New York Times article on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez functions as a press release rather than independent news reporting.

Hasan Piker believes media outlets are susceptible to publishing smear campaigns against political targets without sufficient evidence, often influenced by ideological biases.

“Sometimes you have to look beyond the claims being made and try to understand who's making the claims and why they're making it. And sometimes you have to judge people's reception of these claims by where their ideological priors fall.”

The primary role of a journalist is to hold power accountable, rather than serving as a stenographer for political or military authorities.

“the essence of reporting for me is holding power accountable.”
