I know this is terrible but I'm thinking about how theres sites that allow these assholes to bet on international childrens sports, theres probably kids out there getting death threats from these losers for not catching a ball

I always get a kick out of the NYT Defense Squad trotting out harrumphing takes about how serious journalists don't report on mere speculation, blow things out of proportion, dig into their colleagues' email, etc etc

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons
