it’s that they’re being selectively critical to propagate their own interests.

So?

In a republic we need checks and balances. I want all the power centers in the country at each others' throats. I want bankers being critical of oil men. And oil men being critical of big tech. And big tech being critical of politicians. And politicians being critical of judges. And judges being critical of the cops. And cops being critical of the press. And the press being deeply critical of everything. And on and on and on.

NYTimes being critical of big tech is good. We need more of that sniping in all directions. That's what keeps us safe.

The only time we need to worry, is whenever they all speak with one voice. When that happens, I can guarantee we're getting screwed somehow.

Let big tech and the press go at each other, that's only a win for every regular American. In fact if the press is not doing that, then they aren't doing their job as the fourth estate.
