The name is inside baseball that really only matters to Alexander Scott and people who are already invested in the site. It seems like the most important thing in the world to AS, but overall it's just noise...
(And really, 10k words to generate a lot more heat than light is kinda what I expect from SSC, actually, so the NYT article is on point in that respect!)
- Zarel 6y agoScott posted a response to this article, for the record, including even more reasons to think hit pieces are real (such as that other actual journalists said it was clearly a hit piece): https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/lk2ve9/a_former_reporter_reflects_on_ssc_and_the_nyt/gnlutug/ https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/lk2ve9/a_fo... You can also just look elsewhere in this thread for links to journalists talking about their experiences writing hit pieces for the New York Times.
