This violates the same principle as:

"Dear NYT, We Decided the Stories You'll Be Reporting on for You"

"Dear John Smith, We Picked Your Next Girlfriend for You"

John Smith put out a document outlining his preferences and released a document 'submit your proposal" (https://www.amazon.com/amazonhq2).

The New York Times is a newspaper, not a city. And ultimately the decision rests with Amazon, not anyone else. The wording of their headline should reflect that, because the way it is written currently is quite disrespectful.

The headline is clearly meant to be tongue-in-cheek, as is the article itself, at least to some degree.

Totally! (And, the NYT scootches closer to The Onion)
