Occam's razor. Is it a giant conspiracy coordinated by some Other Entity with Power and Influence able to manipulate NYT as well as Google to maximize the impact of their destructive forces?
Or... because of all the bad publicity and Uber being in the limelight, those who were already feel uncomfortable about what they saw finally got the initiative to speak out... and the news media finds the story hot enough to publish because of the #DeleteUber campaign... and throw in some consequential timing at Google.

Or those who saw a cash rich company desperately trying to stop an avalanche of bad publicity felt as though they had a chance to either make some money or get some publicity on the situation by piling on? I doubt very much that any journalist right now would turn down a story bashing Uber, because they're an easy target and those hit pieces will get eyeballs.
