> Why is the New York Times writing about it now? For "political/cultural" topics, I generally ask does the article align with the company's/editorial staff's biases. For important geopolitical topics, I generally ask does the article align with the company's masters' biases. What a company chooses to cover or not cover and how a company chooses to cover a story becomes rather obvious. After a while, you can pretty much tell whether a story will be cover by a company and how they are going to spin it. > Numerous lawsuits have been brought about this kind of thing and even won. Why is this case different? It's hard to say. If the situation isn't special since we had numerous lawsuits like this before, then I guess we can ask what else is special? Maybe we can run down the "who,what,when,where,why". Lets start with who. Is there anything special there?
