Newsweek and Vanity Fair contributor Kurt Eichenwald is apparently into animated Japanese pornography, specifically “schoolgirl uniform”-type stuff. This was exposed when the contributor with a longstanding battle with the alt-right journalist posted a photo on Twitter which accidentally captured some of the open tabs on his laptop, including one with Hentai porn.
But the cover-up is even better than the crime: Eichenwald claims he was only looking at Hentai porn because he was trying to prove that “tentacle porn” exists. Seriously.
Let’s start from the top.
The columnist took a photo of an anti-Semitic pamphlet which he allegedly received from an alt-right troll and posted it to Twitter. It was quickly spotted that one of the tabs read in part: “8 chiku [english, uncensored, 212 pictures], with two pages.”
[Note: This is the second photo Eichenwald posted of the flyer, proving it’s authenticity.]
After a quick Google search, Eichenwald’s foes posted what they found — that the columnist is into anime porn — and savaged him for the tweet.
Here’s a censored shot of what Eichenwald was apparently browsing:

Of course, simply searching “tentacle porn” would have done the trick.
Eichenwald continued to dig deeper the hole in which he was now standing:
He even posted an alleged phone conversation in the hope for exoneration:
The embattled journalist ended the debacle with the following tweet:
Journalism in 2017 sure does involve a lot more porn than we all anticipated.
