You shouldn't conflate the New York Times Company with the people who write articles for the New York Times (or even its editorial board). They're not the same entity. Apologies if somehow that's not actually what you're doing, but my experience is when someone talks about the "NYT complaining" they're pretty much always talking about a general impression of its opinion pages.
- zeroonetwothree 5y agoSocial media gets constantly criticized for views expressed by individuals on their platforms (often by NYT or other media!). Why shouldn't we be able to do the same to traditional media companies?
- pseudalopex 5y agoThey didn't say you can't criticize. They explained why it wouldn't be ironic even if the comparison made sense. Editorial independence is expected.

- tablespoon 5y ago> Don't complain about what others do, when thats how you get paid. Get your house in order first. Are you saying the people who write articles for the New York Times should muzzle themselves in many topic areas, so as to not be seen as being critical of anything the corporation they work may do?
