Every newspaper that’s been around for over 150 years will have a history of fabrication and bias. That, on its own, means pretty much nothing. Quillette and the New York Times are very different. Most of the New York Times’ energy is spent on regular gumshoe reporting. Very little energy is given over to opinion (including media criticism). You’re obviously going to get a different reaction from reading a straight-up news article vs reading an opinion piece about media coverage. I disagree with your contention that the Quillette reader comes away better-informed. I found the thing confusing. He seems to suggest that maybe the graves aren’t actually graves, but also says that thousands of children were known to have died there. Surely the deaths of children is the real story, not the terminology used by some newspapers.
