Beast Bust

The Daily Beast's editor admits:

In his essay, Cartwright readily admits that after leaving the Enquirer, he worked as a source—with no compensation—for several national news publications as a means of integrating himself back into corporate journalist circles. He says this was prompted after he already technically left his role with the tabloid in July 2017, but remained listed as an employee as part of his severance agreement. This allowed him to retain his U.S. work visa as an Australian national.According to Cartwright, in October 2017, his attorney received a letter from the National Enquirer‘s then-parent company, American Media, Inc. (AMI), which threatened a termination of employment per the severance agreement. This, the letter noted, would result in him losing his work visa and subsequent deportation from the U.S. The letter suggested they believed he was behind several leaks to national media outlets regarding the Enquirer’s involvement in purchasing and burying stories on behalf of several notable public figures. Now, several years after the letter, Cartwright admits AMI’s suspicions were correct. He also suggests his work as a confidential source on AMI likely contributed to his gaining employment with the far-left Daily Beast.
