That’s a pretty rich comment coming from the New York Times, controlled by different, equally troubling oligarchs, with both known and whispered-about baggage of its own.
The fact of the matter is, all of these jobs where others pay you to write can be a bummer if you end up deciding something/someone connected to your workplace is a juicy target for a story. Hence the long-standing tradition of outsiders becoming insiders, and so on, as it has been for all of eternity.
- _mhyx 6y agoWhat’s the whispered about baggage? The CIA connections?
- atlasunshrugged 6y agoYes, please expand here, I didn't even know about the aforementioned CIA connections
- barry-cotter 6y agoCarlos Slim is the reason the NYT made it through the media’s trough of sorrow when they went from trying to be a somewhat objective paper of record to being all partisan all the time. He’s a Mexican billionaire who made his money off of having the political connections to get the mobile phone monopoly. There’s shag all negative coverage of one of the world’s richest men whose wealth was based on clientilism.
