The attacks on Facebook have never seemed random. I find it helpful to remember that the nytimes is still heavily owned by Carlos Slim, but I don't know why everyone's going after Facebook except maybe political retribution. Most social media sites/apps are just as bad.

I don't think it's random. I think it's important work. I just think we're being naive about the alternatives as well.

I find that journalists and editors at the top papers and stations generally don't miss things at random. If they're only targeting one company in a field known for problems, it's not by accident.
