Thank you for posting this. I think you underestimate how common these sorts of stories are in the NYT. They stand out when the reader knows enough detail about the subject being written about to see that it's largely made up... a story concocted around a few quotes and a few facts. This is the main reason why I've stopped reading the NY Times on a regular basis.
