both those references are promotional interviews, the sort of interview where the interviewer asks leading questions, and the subject of the interview says whatever they please about themselves. We have for several years realized that these are not independent sources in any real sense--the paper simply prints whatever the subject (or the subject's PR people) tell it. Even otherwise good papers do this, and it essentially means we cannot trust as independent sources anything in a news source which does not clearly indicate independent reporting with editorial control. Even the NYT does this sort of promotion and even more blatant choice of products to include in its style pages. It always did, but they're harder to distinguish in the online version. To the extent they show anything at all, they show the work of the press agent. DGG ( talk ) 09:46, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
