I was working with a guy who came from let say “disruptive car company”. He really laid out and explained that almost all “news” you see in the NYT, WaPo, etc about big companies was designed to first and foremost effect a stock price. When you see “charismatic company leader does X” it was a directed move to effect some stock. That at his company he was in the marketing, PR, and finance co-op that did exactly this.

Laid out just how much everything is manipulated. So yes, I believe that if you are reading an NYT about this and the target happens to be advertisers on NYT, that’s not an accident, nor is it speaking highly of NYT’s journalism standards.
