Normally, When You Say That a Newsie Is in Bed With Their Sources………

It is not meant literally, but it appears that Olivia Nuzzi (Pronounced, "Newsie," As Anna Russel would say, "I'm not making this up, you know.") has been suspended from New York Magazine for sexting RFK, Jr.

No seriously.  Don't make me quote Anna Russel again:

New York magazine on Thursday said its Washington correspondent, Olivia Nuzzi, is on leave after learning the star journalist had allegedly engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a reporting subject. That person is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to people familiar with the matter.

"Recently our Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi acknowledged to the magazine’s editors that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine’s standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures," a spokesperson for New York magazine said in a statement in response to questions from Status.

"Had the magazine been aware of this relationship, she would not have continued to cover the presidential campaign," the spokesperson added. "An internal review of her published work has found no inaccuracies nor evidence of bias. She is currently on leave from the magazine, and the magazine is conducting a more thorough third-party review. We regret this violation of our readers’ trust." 

 In her own statement, provided to Status after this story initially published, Nuzzi confirmed that “earlier this year, the nature of some communication” between herself “and a former reporting subject turned personal.”

“During that time, I did not directly report on the subject nor use them as a source,” Nuzzi added. “The relationship was never physical but should have been disclosed to prevent the appearance of a conflict. I deeply regret not doing so immediately and apologize to those I’ve disappointed, especially my colleagues at New York.” 

Two interesting things, first, it appears that Ryan Lizza is now her EX fiancee, and the fact that Ryan Lizza is the less hackish journalist in a journalism power couple is kind of mind blowing.

Second, it appears that this story broke because RFK, Jr. was bragging about it to his friends.

Mr. Kennedy, that is JD Vance f%$#ing a couch creepy.
