I'm really curious about the volume of tech-bashing opinion pieces that the NYTimes (and other corporate media outlets) publish on a daily basis. It's starting to rival the volume of Trump-bashing articles they used to publish at the peak of the US election cycle.

Do they have an entire department devoted to churning out this content? Are they hiring freelancers are paying them by the word/click? Do they also pay people to post them and upvote them on reddit/HN etc?

In the last day alone (from a search on HN): https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/opinion/email-tracking.ht...

Most of them are just rehashing the same "big tech bad. media is freedom" spiel.
