Having read the whole article, I thought it was sobering, well-written, maybe a little too exhaustive for a convenient dalliance during the workday, but worth reading if you have not already.
I have been using my own RAG tool bookmarklet[1] to help get quick assessments. I asked "is the author optimistic about the New York Times for the future" (and got an answer that was basically "No." You've read the whole article--you can tell me if that's accurate).
