It feels pretty ironic that this article takes a jab at FB with the fake news comment and then NYT, which arguably should be held to a higher bar for pieces like this, gets a pass on fact checking.

It's not an article, though. It's an editorial, which simply isn't the same format. It's a self-promotion for an author critical of Silicon Valley. It's not reporting news, but an author representing his views on a broad subject with a particular (attempt at) focus on a recent issue.

Really? It is the OPINION section. It isn't journalism, there's no editing by the NYT, no fact checking.

It has been like that for decades, if not centuries, in pretty much every single newspaper in the world.
