How often did the news service that published that headline also break the story vs acquired it from AP or another wire service?
I pay for NYT, WSJ and local news because I want news companies to exist. But news companies have a huge anti-tech bias (because they compete for ad revenue). NYT explicitly had a "no good news on tech" policy for a while (still?). There is a missing business model for news because it's hard to monetize, and information is free. Society should figure this out, and establish its values - but trying to pretend that google search results (or Facebook posts) are the evil villain killing news instead of the free movement of information on the internet at large is naive.
