Any profile from Variety, Deadline, or The Hollywood Reporter are puff pieces. They are the mouth pieces for the industry.

Edit: Not saying they aren’t worth visiting - probably the best places to get actual industry news. Just saying these specific articles they produce are basically industry propaganda.

Deadline can occasionally be really sarcastic and snarky on the issues, but less and less all the time

It was founded as an alternative to the big two trades, intended to take the piss out of the industry a bit while still delivering exclusives. Over the years, it’s basically become the same as THR and Variety.

While still a PR piece there was a recent interview with Landgraf that I thought had some interesting responses in it. Much more so than this one of Bloys.
