Well, Zerohedge tends to be hair afire and imprecise on details, so I
followed the breadcrumb trail to the actual video of the WEF (Davos)
"Defending Truth" forum.  Here is a closer link from ZH's page:

.<https://modernity.news/2024/01/19/wsj-editor-in-chief-tells-davos-elites-we-no-longer-own-the-news/>

The video is 45 minutes long, and worth watching from the start.  The
key exchange about we being the keeper of truth (at about 8 minutes
in) was said by Emma Tucker (editor-in-chief of the WSJ) in response
to Meredith Kopit Levien (editor-in-chief of the NYT), and the "we"
was Meredith and Emma, not Emma alone.  Given that the NYT and the WST
are by far the largest print media organization in North America, both
being papers-of-record, this is literally true.
