It will have to be pulled out for as long as journalists keep writing these biased hit pieces to push their political agenda.

Critiquing tech industry for all the wrong they do is fine. But what NYT does is target two companies and constantly writes articles that find the most negative interpretation to the point where they sometimes even invent things.

Being biased and running a smear campaign against their competitor is what fans anti-journalist sentiment, not people bringing up the bias.

What's wrong with "fanning the flames of anti-journalist sentiment" exactly? If journalists aren't meeting the basic requirements society has of them, shouldn't there correctly be such sentiment? How else would journalism be motivated to self-reform?

> But does this trope really need to be pulled out in discussing every single newspiece about tech that isn't flattering?

When it comes to dishonest hit pieces like this one, it is the only constructive comment to make. If journalists want to be respected, they should produce respectable work. TFA ain't it.
