Took me a while to parse this. Not sure what the relationship is here: 1/ you clearly do think the source tells you something about the credibility (in your case you now think NYT is not highly credible), 2/ the laptop story was given to the Post, it's not like they gumshoed it, 3/ the hospital bombing was about a current event which typically carries a lower bar than something that can be verified over days like the laptop story or the DB Cooper heist. This isn't a defense of the NYT, they definitely lost credibility with that debacle which could have easily been fixed with tighter headlines and more circumspection in the initial reporting.
- ejb999 3y agoThe relationship is the GP, was wondering if there is a more 'reliable' source than 'the-sun', i.e. a bigger name paper with credibility - I think the person you were responding to is just saying these days it really doesn't matter who reports it - big name, little name, there are no guarantees ... so even if the NYTimes ran the article, there is no guarantee it is any more true than 'the-sun'
