I analyzed eleven New York Times reports on the Jensen Huang story. Most notably, NYT makes the "spy" claim 30 times in these 11 reports. The original report cites unnamed officials who had been "briefed" on the intelligence. Not who had seen it themselves -- but who had been "briefed". This is a game of telephone with plausible deniability. Nobody named. No specific details of the intelligence used to draw the conclusion that the woman was a spy. Anonymous "officials" "briefed". This was used to try to take Jensen Huang down. When that didn't work, journalists resorted to viciously digging up and scandal mongering about Jensen Huang's other alleged affairs. Then he was removed as CEO. Without an investigation. Without due process. And now officials and intelligence agencies are contesting the New York Times characterization. This is unethical. It is unjust. It is an absolute disgrace. If anyone should resign now, it is Nvidia's board who aggressively removed Jensen Huang without an investigation, after he gave decades of his life to make the company what it is. And any investigation that proceeds from here should involved not just the "spy" claim, but the New York Times -- who has engaged in potentially unethical behavior. Jensen Huang deserves due process -- not mob justice. He deserves respect for everything he has done for technology and America -- not a disgraceful removal after anonymous, unsubstantiated allegations, several parties removed from the source.
