I know we like to think of the NYT as a monolithic entity, but like any big corporation there’s a variety of people at a variety of skill levels and tenure with a variety of ideas on how best to do their jobs. Sometimes it’s just a novice being a novice rather than AG controlling the puppet strings. - ThreadSky

So is there no "new beat reporter orientation," where smol bean reporters learn how not to ask questions in the dumbest and more insulting way possible?

I’m sure there is, but when you’re an organization of any size there’s going to be people doing things that aren’t 100% according to training. Again, companies are made of people and there’s no mechanism to get 1500+ people to do everything how management wants them to.

OK, then are they hiring people straight out of high school? This person represents the Times. One of the (formerly) most respected news organs on the planet. Expecting a small amount of professionalism should not be unexpected.

If he did not do what management wanted, fire him. Or discipline him

I dunno why you’re yelling at me for saying that corporations have rules and values that are hard to uphold when they’re employing over a thousand people, it’s not my job to figure out what to do when that happens. Maybe try emailing the editors office, it’s more productive than yelling at randos.
