Tech has received almost universally fawning coverage for the at least 2 decades that I've been following it. The only tiny hints of holding it to account came from the RMS Free Software folks. The idea that the press should be focusing on fawning coverage instead of highly investigative reporting when there's a whole ecosystem of tech news, Youtube videos, and conferences and WWDCs and Google IOs to do that seems completely nonsensical. The correct criticism of the NYTimes here should be why their investigative coverage does not extent to other areas where it might be missing.
