The New York Times’ new profile on Lauren Sánchez Bezos is causing some critics to facepalm — including journalist Katie Couric.
Amid a completely bewildering war with Iran that caused gas prices to spike, which only accelerated the financial strain many Americans were already feeling, Amy Chozick wrote a profile of the wife of billionaire Jeff Bezos for The New York Times titled: “Someone Has to Be Happy. Why Not Lauren Sánchez Bezos?”
“The NYT is rage-baiting us,” a user on Instagram Threads said while sharing a screenshot of the article — and it seems that Couric resonated with that take.
“Hi @amychozick 👋🏻,” Couric said in response to this post, tagging the article’s author. “Are you allowed to refuse assignments? This feels, um, off.”
Lots of users appreciated Couric’s blunt response.
