So in your deranged conspiracy theory, the New York Times hates Uber because Uber is "a technology company" and therefore competes with the New York Times?

- CryptoPunk 7y agoI can't speak to the validity of the conspiracy theory, but there is a stronger basis for it than that: The writers at the NYT are unionized and consequently derive above-market wages as a result of labor regulations. Gig economy companies like Uber undermine labor regulations, like the kind that empower unionized workforces like the NYT's. Still the theory has a pretty flimsy basis of support.
- manfredo 7y agoIf you think I am accusing the New York Times of engaging in a "deranged conspiracy theory" then you either have not read my comments, or you are deliberately stuffing words into my mouth. A conflict of interest is not a conspiracy theory. If you want to get a response from me, read my comments and make a response based on what I actually wrote.
