@markjacob.bsky.social really nails it here. NYT “doesn’t want to call balls and strikes” it just wants to say there’s been a pitch. Perhaps the most revealing moment was when Healy makes clear that some of this is about protecting their access to sources.

nyt reader here: it's pretty hard to watch this. I commend him for inviting you on but he is only interested in defending what they do and hiding behind readers. as a subscriber I want them to have courage and not mince words. truth to power not mealy-mouthed euphemisms.

Wow, Marc really nailed it here. Just fantastic. The excuses from the NYT editor Healy were mainly what I’d expect. One thing Healy didn’t address about the continually weak headlines is that often the headlines are all that people see. So many people don’t actually read the articles.
