LOL. The New York Times sent a warning to its employees to be on the lookout for undercover journalist James O’Keefe (not by name, but the letter warns of his recent CNN videos):
Newsrooms beware:
Someone claiming to be a college student is trying to interview NYT journalists.
We're concerned that it’s a ruse. pic.twitter.com/ypdYbzA3d8— Clifford Levy (@cliffordlevy) August 1, 2017

It really is remarkable how freaked out they are by O’Keefe:
.@JamesOKeefeIII lives rent-free in the heads of journalists. If they're really unbiased, what are they afraid of? https://t.co/UzIuHRjQYI

Journalism works both ways, guys. Why shouldn’t journalists investigate the media?
God forbid that a reporter be reported on! https://t.co/BAViFxmkWU

Anyway, maybe that it’s just that it’s James O’Keefe doing the exposing?
We don't want the wrong sorts of people asking questions. https://t.co/lqahDLYWan

Other media folks and reporters had no issues with Politico printing that leaked WSJ transcript of its interview with President Trump:

This is remarkable: WSJ had an Oval Office sit-down with Trump, hasn't published the transcript, so Politico did https://t.co/ZITerwpecs

Poynter's @JimWarren55 on the WSJ transcript revealed by Politico: "Trump comes off poorly. But so does The Journal" https://t.co/yrwkvmi0J4
