We know, from like a bunch of internal documents, that the New York Times has been operating for the last two or three years on a, like, grand [narrative structure], where there’s a number of head editors who are like, “Over this quarter, over this current period, we want to write lots of articles, that, like, make this point. That have this vibe. That arrive at roughly this conclusion.” And then lots of editors are being given the task of, like, finding lots of articles to write that support this conclusion. And clearly that conclusion, [in some sense is what the head editors believe], but it’s also something that, when you look at the structure of it, tends to be [of a] very political nature. It’s like, “This quarter or this year, we want to, like, destroy the influence of Silicon Valley on, like, the modern media ecosystem” or something like this.
