That one is by buzzfeednews, not the nytimes. I know it's hard to tell the difference between news companies today. There are 3 hitpieces on facebook on the frontpage. 2 of those are by the nytimes.
There is a 4th by the businessinsider trying to make it's way to the frontpage.

But the ones I was referring to were from the nytimes only.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoI still don't see them as hit pieces though, and I've seen only two NYT pieces about FB hit HN today. This one is talking of a specific company they hired. The piece about students not wanting to work there is a bit more woolly, granted. It doesn't seem like they're being singled out unfairly to me.
