    One thing about the Brooks business is that a lot of people have the mistaken idea that being a writer for New York Times is a job. But for an entrepreneur like Brooks, the Times gig is a loss leader to advertise the real business (public speaking, books, foundation moolah etchttps://twitter.com/dankennedy_nu/status/1368197221875916807 …

        That's a fraction of the money you can make in this business. It's a loss leader.

        See also: @nytmike getting paid by the @NYTimes to ostensibly gather facts to report to NYT customers as "news" when it IS news, but instead, hoards it to profit from later when said "NEWS" has become inactionable trivia for beltway hobbyists.

        Brooks was given air time on the news hour to explain the controversy. It was the most off-point, self righteous string of sentences possible which ignored the transparency issue entirely. Puro Brooks.
