Why does The Verge think the NYT is being gamed? The NYT is in on the game. This isn’t an issue of competency. The owners know what they’re doing.
I may be spitballing here, but it seems that neoliberals can't imagine an anti-left campaign could be run by anything but a conservative (read: republican) entity. That neoliberalism is actually conservative doesn't cross their minds (why would it? the mere existence of leftism is coopted or erased in American media). That the NYT would be part of that apparatus hasn't crossed enough people's minds, until now. Their façade is cracking.
The Verge doesn't get kayfabe
[EDIT] LMAO, the article actually mentions kayfabe. IDFK why they don't get it then.
