“It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks.”


You got to give the nyts credit. They will defend or paint in a positive light the worst people. It's like why hire a defense attorney when you can hire the nyts.


It shows the power of a well placed PR person with good contacts. Powerful enough that the paper would delay the announcement of the hiring of the guy who wrote the Wall Street story's that took down Theranos.

Elizabeth Holmes should have had zero possibility of getting a puff piece written about her in the New York Times, yet she did.


Well neither her attorneys nor the NYT helped her out that much. She's going to prison.


She has a lot of connections to powerful people and I would not be surprised if she ends up with a pardon a few years down the road. Sickening.
