Nuzzi on Leave Over Kennedy Conflict

Olivia Nuzzi, a political reporter for New York Magazine, has been placed on leave after admitting to a personal, non-physical relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while covering his 2024 presidential campaign. This revelation has raised significant questions about journalistic ethics and conflicts of interest. Cheryl Hines, Kennedy's wife, is reportedly furious and may not tolerate the situation. The affair has led to widespread media coverage and criticism, with some defending Nuzzi against what they see as sexist attacks. Nuzzi's ex-fiancé, Politico reporter Ryan Lizza, has recused himself from covering Kennedy due to the personal connection. New York Magazine is conducting a thorough review but found no evidence of bias in Nuzzi's reporting.
