Exactly. They've got great investigative journalism when focused on direct competitors, who they assure us are all peddlers of misinformation.

It's also laughable to watch them do the daily Meta hit piece, pretending they're the good guys and were never advertiser funded. A gate-keeping, deeply-embedded mono-culture of an institution funded by 5M well-off subscribers, going after a platform that 2.9B people use on a daily basis to connect with each other.

It's not that they are doing it, it's that they do it and pretend they are taking the moral high ground.
