I love this from a former left-biased 'journalist':
Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson suggested that the event - which was previously given little coverage by the 'paper of record,' was - and is, "a corrupt circle-jerk."
"I noticed (after I was gone), much more 'news' coverage in the Times of Davos, quoting the attendees and speakers at those endless panels. Of course, the coverage was a sweetener to flatter the CEOs by seeing their names in the NYT so that they would then speak at high-dollar NYT conferences and - of course - get phony news stories from the conferences into the paper." 👍 "It was -- and is, a corrupt circle jerk," Abramson told Semafor EIC ("Buzzfeed") Ben Smith.
Would anyone care about these people?
