Well, there are other perspectives on that:

NY Times is like most newspapers. There are certain topics they don't care about and write with average accuracy, and others they feel are important to the current of world events, which they manipulate ruthlessly.
Sometimes people like to claim the NYT only has issues with factual accuracy in op-eds, but it's not true. The first article shown as an example in the UnHerd piece, for example, is investigative reporting about Britain, hardly a war zone that's difficult for journalists to reach. Yet it's riddled with basic geographical and factual errors.
The author here is trying to claim that Buzzfeed and Gawker have been 'taken over' by the NYT, which is gobbling up everything in its path. From afar it looks more like a reverse takeover.
