We live in a world where two or more bad things can be talked about at the same time.

> but where are the front page Vice pieces, Washington Post articles, or NYT exposés when Johnson and Johnson sells 33,000 bottles of baby power with asbestos in them?

Disclaimer: I work for an Alphabet company

I think there is a difference in the tone and and style of media coverage that large tech companies attract. I very much agree that there are a lot of terrible things happening in the world but I think it is fair to question whether or not the bias that journalist bring apportions our outrage appropriately.

I have no doubt these crimes do get written about, but they're third-rate beats, rarely front-page material. They don't lead to mass condemnation, they don't lead to boycotts, they don't result in congressional hearings.

That article is literally by the same "beat" as the parent article.

But on your point on boycotts, yes they did[0] and on congressional hearings, also yes they did [1].

I remember reading about the talc issue in Spain, and a quick search led me to congressional action on talc: https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/chairman-kri... I’m afraid the bias might be elsewhere.
