While NYT etc mostly stand back as the U.S. crosses the rubicon, what started as a freaking gadget review site seems to employ nearly all the journalists with actual gusto left in America.

Are you thinking of Wirecutter? They are a sub brand of NYT, whereas The Verge is part of Vox Media

    According to Wikipedia's article on The Verge [1] "up to nine of Engadget's writers, editors, and product developers, including editor-in-chief Joshua Topolsky, left AOL, the company behind that website, to start a new gadget site."

    So apparently they were once a 'gadget site'

Vox is an active participant in the culture war, just like the NYT.
