This is actually a great article. The Times seems really split down the middle right now, you get these great articles that would fit in with the paper at its peak, and then you have some real dross. They're basically becoming their own sort of tech giant, like Google, they have tons of factions and the right hand doesn't know what the left, top, bottom, charm, strange, up, down, or left hands are doing.
They’ve always had a dizzying mixture of world-class, unique reportage and writing, and idiotic filler. What’s happening now, which is new and depressing, is stuff like firing a top reporter because the Daily Beast recycled some boring complaints by a couple of teenage girls.

Which really makes the people who talk about it as a monolithic boogeyman look pretty foolish.
