While Mediums (Jay Carney's) article has a fair point, in that once you look at article under a microscope its conclusions start to fall apart, I think Jay may have missed what the article is. The authors knew from the get-go that they were going to publish a scathing "insider", "never-before seen" review of Amazon. The NYT article is First-Class clickbait. It's Buzzfeed in a suit with a degree.
Jay Carney did an excellent job debunking it; however, it's much like debunking a Buzzfeed article. You might come out ahead logically, but that isn't what people are going to be talking about. The NYT isn't going for truth, they need people to read their newspaper, and then talk about it so they decided to write a bad article about Amazon, and then they found the "sources" for it.
