Gerth is a former reporter for the New York Times.

Gerth targets the New York Times, under then Executive Editor Dean Baquet, for a failure to deal responsibly with the fact that Robert Mueller, special counsel during the Trump years, was not going to confirm the press's oft-repeated "Russiagate" allegations.
