The Elizabeth Holmes Saga: From Disgraceful Journalism to Shocking Claims in Prison.

New York Times business editor Ellen Pollock defended the paper's controversial profile of Elizabeth Holmes, even swearing and bringing her dead mother into the conversation during an all-hands meeting with journalists. Pollock claimed that nothing out of the usual went on, but multiple Times journalists felt that such asides and caveats were not enough to salvage the article or justify its framing. The piece has faced criticism for being a puff piece on a convicted felon.
