Reporting on the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

Kantor provided deep investigative reporting into the Supreme Court's internal deliberations leading to the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, a core policy victory for the MAGA movement.

Notes: The reporting detailed how Chief Justice Roberts lost control of the conservative majority.

Agent rationale

By pulling back the curtain on the conservative majority's maneuvers to end abortion rights, the reporting provided ammunition to critics of the Court's rightward shift under Trump-appointed justices.

Investigation into Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo Movement

Jodi Kantor co-authored the 2017 investigation into Harvey Weinstein, which catalyzed the #MeToo movement. This work challenged established power structures and has been frequently criticized by MAGA-aligned figures as part of a broader 'cancel culture' or 'woke' agenda.

Notes: The reporting won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.

Agent rationale

While the reporting was non-partisan in its target, the resulting cultural movement (#MeToo) became a major point of contention in the MAGA-era culture wars, with Trump and his allies often framing such movements as politically motivated attacks on traditional power.

Coverage of the Obama Presidency

Kantor authored The Obamas, a book chronicling the transformation of Barack and Michelle Obama. Her coverage was generally seen as a serious, intimate look at the Democratic first family.

Notes: The book was a New York Times bestseller.

Agent rationale

While written before the MAGA era, her career-defining focus on the Obamas establishes her within the 'liberal media' establishment that the MAGA movement defines itself against.
