Nuzzi said in a statement that he was “disappointed” by Bloomberg’s response to the left-wing mob. Fox News Digitalwhich he had previously provided to the semaphore.
“When I write something that incites the right wing, I’m accused of being a liberal activist. When I write something that incites the left wing, I’m accused of being a conservative activist,” Nuzzi said. “The difference is that mainstream media organizations ignore malicious campaigns against journalists conducted by the right wing. I have no illusions about big corporate media entities and their tolerance for the slightest inkling of a PR crisis, so I can’t say I was surprised, but I was disappointed.”

Nuzzi addressed her old exes’ posts, saying, “I know a lot of journalists who made the smart decision a long time ago to delete all their old posts to protect themselves. I would never judge anyone for doing that. But a big part of my project as a journalist is meeting people where they are in the gray area and delving into the complexity and the nuance, and understanding the context as it is or as it was, and I see the effort to hide jokes I made five or 10 or 15 years ago in the context of the internet as a kind of dishonesty that I’m not comfortable engaging in.”
“I truly believe that if you want to live in a world that is forgiving and where people treat people they disagree with equally, you can’t give in to mob pressure to protect yourself, even though it’s very easy to do so,” Nuzzi said. “This kind of culture is created and sustained and as individuals we have to decide if we think it’s worth going through a little pain to fight against it.”

Additionally, Nuzzi told Fox News Digital that she had not heard from Bloomberg since Semaphore’s report, and added, “The only response I would want from Bloomberg is for them to show a little more courage in their future endeavors.”
“Working Capital,” which featured interviews with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Chris Sununu, R-N.H., Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Mark Cuban, ended Aug. 15. It’s unclear whether Nuzzi’s show will be renewed for a second season. Bloomberg did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Nuzzi’s shocking July report said the topic of Biden’s mental decline was “like a dark family secret to many elite supporters.” Nuzzi noted that he began hearing similar stories from “Democratic officials, activists, and donors” in January about concerns related to Biden’s age and cognitive ability.
“After meeting with the president, they arrived at the same concern: Can he really do this for another four years? Can he even survive until Election Day? In common, these people were of the same social strata. They lived and socialized in Washington, New York and Los Angeles. They didn’t want to come forward with their stories. They didn’t want to tell anybody,” Nuzzi told readers.

“Those who met the president in social settings sometimes interrupted their conversations. Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to discover that the president did not remember their names,” Nuzzi wrote. “At a White House event last year, one guest recalled feeling horrified when he realized the president would not be able to stay for the reception, after it was clear he would not be able to make it. The guest was not sure they could vote for Biden, as the guest was now open to an idea they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: the president might not actually be the acting president.”
