If that’s your argument you should see how many different rich assholes have owned it over the last century. Most recently it was acquired in 2016 by Win McCormack from Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes.
They didn’t say it was reputable, just remarkable, which doesn’t mean it’s good or accurate, just that it has had a place in the media sphere for a while.
Good to know, thanks. I’m not too familiar with the American news media, although I know there’s a lot of it around. I checked them briefly and they didn’t seem all too different from e.g. Huffington Post or other similar sites, which is why I called them unremarkable. It’s interesting to see they have a long history.
I don’t think this materially affects any of my conclusions on the article itself though.

By your logic the new York times is reputable just because the name is the same as its always been.
