Naval seems to insinuate with "social scientists who [...] are now in there with nonsense political models" that authors like Nate Silver (of 538 fame) are examples of folks relying on NYT mastheads, and yet, Nate rose to prominence as an individual outside of traditional journalism, publishing on his own website (fivethirtyeight.com, which was later acquired by NYT).
- jonas21 4y agoWhat does Nate Silver have to do with this? The article never mentions him, and he left the NYT back in 2013 anyhow.
- bentlegen 4y agoListen, I would prefer if the article actually named names or gave examples supporting any of the statements therein, but it doesn't. The author leaves us to guess with the innuendo he's left.
