Former New York Times editor bashes paper for presence at Davos: 'Corrupt circle-jerk'
Fox News
Jill Abramson, a former NY Times editor, criticized the paper for its presence at the World Economic Forum, arguing coverage was a "sweetener" for CEOs in attendance.
"I noticed (after I was gone), much more ‘news’ coverage in the Times of Davos, quoting the attendees and speakers at those endless panels. Of course, the coverage was a sweetener to flatter the CEOs by seeing their names in the NYT so that they would then speak at high-dollar NYT conferences and — of course — get phony news stories from the conferences into the paper." Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
She told Semafor that the event "was and is" a "corrupt circle-jerk."
