> NYT feeds off of bipartisan hatred and conflict in order to make money
This is how every newspaper that is reliant on ad views for revenue operates. You'll notice the ones that depend more on subscriptions, like Financial Times and WSJ, are noticeably less clickbaity or intentionally provocative.
Also, I'll go out on a limb and guess that you work at Facebook - aren't you guilty of the same thing? Sowing ideological division to increase "engagement"?
Edit: OP originally I said "I work at one of the companies that nyt constantly disparages," hence my last line. He edited that out after I posted my reply, so my comment now sounds snipey and out of place. I figure FB is a fair guess for the intersection of his remark and HN audience.
