yep. once upon a time the sources of information for Greenwald's stories on a particular three letter agency may have sought out the grey lady, but those days are long gone. the hit piece on him afterwards removed all doubt that the NYT is no longer carrying its pentagon papers legacy.
the US media serves at the pleasure of the King. only a fool would attempt to blow the whistle with the NYT (or NPR).
- dillondoyle 7y agoNYT continues to break important, 'government source/whistleblower' journalism. Pulitzer is an obvious reference of recent and consequential stories including a description of a 'deeply sourced' story right up top [1], amongst volumes and volumes more reporting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pulitzer_Prizes_awarded_to_The_New_York_Times#2010s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pulitzer_Prizes_awarde...
- motohagiography 7y agoMy response to the OP about eliminating this director of security role was in regard to the need of a newspaper for that senior security role. The stories in this page of listed Pulitzer Prizes would not necessitate the level of operational security that a few independent journalists require and use every day. The NYTimes still does journalism, and still has an important role, but the need for such a direct cybersecurity role seemed diminished (and management seemed to agree) - and would probably get in the way of less sensitive work if you had to put everything past them. To some others in this thread, "troll," seems to have come to just mean a provocative outsider view. What most journalists do does not require a higher degree security to achieve it, so yes, that is disappointing.
