An Embedded Reporter

New York Times reporter Ali Watkins was the paramour of James Wolfe, head of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee. She based stories on classified leaks he provided. The New York Post's Michael Goodwin quotes a reader who has a snarky take on this journalistic malfeasance:
By breaking the elephant rule of Times editor Abe Rosenthal, Watkins gives new meaning to ‘embedded’ reporter.
Heh. I'll never see that term again without thinking of its double meaning.
