    I’m not really sure what the New York Times has to do with this. WaPo is owned by a billionaire trying to hedge his bets if Trump wins and decides to take vengeance by breaking up Amazon.

    NYT is fully independent.

      Not sure what you mean with fully independent, but Wikipedia says "Though The New York Times Company is public, all voting shares are controlled by the Ochs-Sulzberger Family Trust. "

      It’s owned by a wealthy family, and it’s reflected in what they choose to report, and more importantly what not to report.

        That’s not even true. It’s a publicly traded company which means it’s owned by the shareholders. Over 90% of those shares are held by financial institutions, meaning diversified investors.

        I don’t know how you could believe such a bald faced lie, and if you don’t believe it then that’s even worse.
