New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush. Cupp said the Times made a “colossally uncourageous” call, tweeting that the paper should have either stood by Thrush completely or fired him altogether. Cupp (@secupp) December 21, 2017So they're not firing Glenn Thrush but they're removing him from the White House beat where he did stellar work because only people who act inoffensively can be on the White House beat? “Thrush is a good reporter, and he'll have scoops on any beat he covers,” former Times executive editor Jill Abramson told me. McGann has not said whether she agrees or disagrees with the Times's decision on Thrush.
