    Jeet Heer Retweeted Nate Silver

    This is very true -- especially if what is making you mad is a photo, a headline or a twitter summary. And also sometimes if it is an especially incendiary phrase turn.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1133514518993297408 …

    Have said this before, but when it comes to the big, complicated news organizations (e.g. NYT, WaPo, CNN) the vast majority of complaints ought to be directed at editors and management, not individual reporters.

        What about an entire article, or the chasing of age subject of that article?

        Editors don't have bylines and their role is much more opaque (who outside the news business knows the distinction between different types of editors?) so it's understandable that people don't fixate on them

        I once noted that, 20+ years ago at least, working for the NYT was like working for the Kremlin -- there was your friendly contact, then there were the layers and layers of figures behind, with the serious power.

        How often do you see complaints directed at reporters? Nine times out of ten when someone's angry at the New York Times they're angry at an opinion columnist.
