New media car sites like Jalopnik and The Drive (which has a lot of former Jalopnik writers) are closer to Medium blogs than the NY Times. Sure, there's an editor, but in general the authors just post their own hot takes, and articles on Jalopnik will vary dramatically in slant (and quality) depending on who wrote them. For example, Bradley Brownell loves EVs, including Tesla: https://jalopnik.com/the-2021-tesla-model-y-is-the-universal-daily-driver-1846318552 https://jalopnik.com/the-2021-tesla-model-y-is-the-universal... David Tracy highlights interesting Tesla engineering: https://jalopnik.com/the-tesla-model-3s-superbottle-easter-egg-is-a-fascin-1830992728 https://jalopnik.com/the-tesla-model-3s-superbottle-easter-e... https://jalopnik.com/the-tesla-model-ys-octovalve-and-cooling-system-manifol-1843342722 https://jalopnik.com/the-tesla-model-ys-octovalve-and-coolin... And Jason Torchinsky definitely isn't entertained by Tesla and Elon Musk: https://jalopnik.com/teslas-pr-department-hasnt-responded-to-me-for-months-a-1845279798 https://jalopnik.com/teslas-pr-department-hasnt-responded-to... https://jalopnik.com/teslas-ai-day-event-did-a-great-job-convincing-me-theyr-1847526454 https://jalopnik.com/teslas-ai-day-event-did-a-great-job-con...
