Scribe for Times hit as drooler

Networks yank horndog

A PROMINENT New York Times reporter covering the White House has been suspended from the paper amid an inquiry into allegations he acted inappropriately with young female journalists.

Glenn Thrush — so well known he was portrayed several times on “Saturday Night Live” — plans to enter substance abuse treatment, The Times reported Monday. Thrush said he was “working hard to repair the damage I have done.”

In an article in Vox, Laura McGann, a former editor at Politico where Thrush (photo) also worked, reported the newsman was known in Washington journalism circles as a hard drinker who could be aggressive with young women at parties. McGann wrote that Thrush put his hand on her thigh and began kissing her five years ago — an unwanted encounter that she suspected Thrush then spun to diminish her standing in the newsroom.
