> NYT says

The author is Gennaro Tomma, a freelance journalist.

If a newspaper publishes something and it isn't under the category "op-ed", that article carries the weight of the paper.

Meh, publication bashing, IMO.

The author still wrote it, yet here he is not criticized nor mentioned, the NY Times is.

Not many blame a book publisher when disagreeing with a book author, but it is common to do so for news journalism. Why is that?
