Losing money over principled stands for freedom is inconcievable to the corporate class which includes the NY Times and this author. The article reads like these people would sell out their own mothers to avoid a loss and that's a normal position to take.
Good point. I wouldn't expect a New York Times reported to compare corporate American companies to IG Farben using slave labor from Auschwitz but that's where we're headed with prisons for profit.
The argument in the article is that they're in on it, I'm sure some are, and that's likely true in some cases to varying degrees.
But let's say you wanted to stand up, what would you do? Sue? Courts are supposed to be the route you go.
The majority in SCOTUS has effectively given Trump default win after default win saying his decisions stand while the legal process plays out...
This has reached absurd levels with things that can't possibly provide any citizens any kind of protection. Tariff impacts, science cuts, your business goes under, your job cut, doesn't matter if years later SCOTUS says 'LOL that was bad, sorry...'
So imagine being ABC (let's just say they want to fight) and the FCC takes you off the air ... SCOTUS says "yeah too bad going to have to be off the air while the legal process plays out", you're out of business at that point.
SCOTUS decided Trump was more equal than others and has chosen the winner is Trump by default so far. There is no option for these orgs or citizens no matter what the law says.

Well, some good journalists go to alternative media when cancelled by corporate media. Look at the ownership of big media to know their bias.
Getting fired by big media is a rite of passage for uncorrupted, honest journalists. Especially in the US.
