I believe the news should have a vendetta against anyone and anything that has outsized influence and control in society.
I don't think the NYT has the domain experience or insight to present the most damning critiques of big tech. I think that even when they get a chance, they'll prefer hot button topics over than the meatier but less sexy lines of criticism. I often think their motivations for articles are suspect.
However, even with all that said, media orgs like theirs are still the closest thing we have to a check on the control soulless monsters of industry have over our lives.

- dogleash 5y agoAbsolutely. And the good journos do have a bone to pick with the media, but a lot are hacks and don't see it or just use it to advance their own goals.
