We'll miss out on an insightful analysis of how the huge amount of votes for Harris are a big problem for the Harris campaign? Scary...<p>Big Media thought-pieces on how Big Media is important, and/or over, and/or somehow indifferent are... over?
Aside from never, ever, ever using the NYT for elections after "the needle" debacle in 2016, I have been utterly unimpressed with the NYT more broadly. Their average, day-to-day journalism--and especially their political journalism--has been little better than gossip at best and actively hostile to healthy democracy at worst. To the extent they were ever anything special and not simply the beneficiary of huge market bias, they lost that years ago.
I was hoping this would be an analysis of exactly what would happen and how NYT would handle it, but it's not. It's very one-sided of what the union claims will happen. I'm much more curious about the what the NYT has planned just in case.

Don't see the point of entertaining continuing to employ a workforce that threatens to sabotage you on the biggest night of the year for your company.
ITT: A bunch of techies who would never have the guts to unionize running down their colleagues who did for flexing their leverage over their employer.
“The second issue is return-to-office policies. Though Times management has told the bargaining unit that it has no plans to change the current hybrid-work model, Goran Svorcan-Merola, a software engineer who is on the Tech Guild’s bargaining committee, said that management wants to reserve the right to eventually have tech employees in the office five days a week. “It’s not the standard around the tech industry,” he said.”<p>More of this RTO bullshit from upper management? For a tech team?! Ugh. Solidarity with the Tech Guild.
Nothing at all, not even a little bit lol.<p>NYT makes for great papier mache though, nice pictures, but that's aboooout it, for over a hundred years already somehow.
