I'm not understanding the case you're making. The most notable action by the NYT on yellowcake (the main citation in the Wikipedia article) was publishing the op-ed by Joe Wilson indicating that the evidence that Iraq was trying to buy yellowcake was forged. To me, that story has considerable resonance with the lab leak theory, in both cases certain factions within US intelligence trying to push the theory hard, and releasing "evidence" through indirect sources that cannot readily be verified. In the lab leak case, a major part of that role was played by the Wall Street Journal, which published the account of 3 Wuhan lab workers hospitalized in November 2019[1]. The part of Joe Wilson basically being played by Christopher Ashley Ford, in a letter cited elsewhere in this thread.
