There are two separate assertions. One is that news orgs poorly directed coverage. I dispute that they ever had any real control.

the fact that NYT found themselves jumping from silly thing trump said to silly thing was a failure of editorial agency.

yeah, i just don't agree with that characterization. To call the things Trump was saying or doing ephemeral or detritus isn't right.
