 Thanks for the ticket!

 > Option to use text link instead of auto embed

 Looking at https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/15102, this
 should be addressed in the Gutenberg repo, there's no need for a Trac
 ticket for that.

 Looking at https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/13000, however,
 that one needs a Trac ticket.

 As reported by @jeremyfelt:
 > When I paste https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/walt-
 mossberg-quit-facebook.html into a new post, WordPress attempts to use
 oEmbed to display the article, but instead just shows a partial thumbnail.
 >
 > If I inspect with developer tools and remove the height: auto; that NYT
 delivers with the iFrame via article.story .media .image img, then I do
 see that other content is available, it's just not being displayed.
 >
 > **To reproduce**
 >
 > Steps to reproduce the behavior:
 >
 > 1. Create a new post
 > 2. Paste https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/walt-mossberg-
 quit-facebook.html into the first (or any) paragraph block.
 >
 > **Expected behavior**
 >
 > To be honest, I would expect that a pasted NYT URL does not embed
 automatically, but I'm probably in > the minority.
 >
 > The real expectation is probably that the embedded content appears in
 full.
 >
 > **Desktop**
 >
 > OS: OSX 10.12.6
 > Browser Chrome (latest)
 >
 > **Additional context**
 >
 > Using WordPress 5.0.1
 >
 > ...
 >
 > This has changed somewhat in that the (non-WordPress) NY Times URL is
 detected as a WordPress embed block and results in the following code:
 >
 > {{{
 > <!-- wp:core-embed/wordpress
 {"url":"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/walt-mossberg-quit-
 facebook.html","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"the-new-york-
 times","className":""} -->
 > <figure class="wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed
 is-provider-the-new-york-times"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
 > https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/walt-mossberg-quit-
 facebook.html
 > </div></figure>
 > <!-- /wp:core-embed/wordpress -->
 > }}}
 > The display itself still appears broken as originally reported.

 @youknowriad:
 > I think this should probably be raised as a Core ticket instead as the
 embed HTML is not generated by Gutenberg itself but by the Oembed REST
 API.
