The response of the "New York Times" journalist on the X network is that Berisha is lying, and that the newspaper did not receive money for the publication of that article, which has sent Berisha into a panic spiral, because the newspaper may file a lawsuit for damage to reputation.
Sali Berisha is trying to avoid a lawsuit with the New York Times newspaper, after accusing it of receiving $150,000 from Edi Rama for an article by journalist Kenneth Vogel about the engagement of strategist Chris LaCivita in Sali Berisha's electoral campaign, a person sanctioned by the US for major corruption and undermining democracy.
In what he called an "apology" today, Berisha said he thought it was a sponsored article by what are legally sponsored articles in Western newspapers, and said he withdraws the accusation.
The truth is that serious newspapers around the world have separated advertising from professional writing. Journalistic reporting on a corrupt individual can never be sponsored, because then it is not called a newspaper, but called Syri.net.
Sponsored articles in newspapers are mainly done to promote tourism or advertise something from a country, and it is clearly written that this article is sponsored. There are no sponsored journalistic reports, because if this were to happen, then it is no longer a free press, but a bought press.
The truth is that Berisha, since he pays for propaganda media himself, such as his family's media, thinks that all over the world, all you need is money and you can write whatever you want.
The response of the "New York Times" journalist on the X network is that Berisha is lying, and that the newspaper did not receive money for the publication of that article, which has sent Berisha into a panic spiral, because the newspaper may file a lawsuit for damage to reputation.
So today Berisha ran to apologize, making the job even worse, and creating the impression that in the "New York Times" newspaper it is legal to pay for an article that talks about corruption and the undermining of democracy.
This is an even more serious accusation than the first.
The New York Times and every other professional newspaper in the West, with paid space, only have space for advertising articles, because they are clearly written as advertising. The rest is journalism. And that's where you have to deal with the reputation of the journalist and the name of the newspaper, which cost many times more than the marketing pages.
I don't know how this LaCivita will turn out, saving his reputation until the end of the campaign from this client he has taken on, but the way he started it, it's good that he can't declare whether he will receive money from Berisha, but he will also have to pay for it.
