If this is not a high level official working in the Whitehouse then the NYTimes is complicit in some very evil behavior that will certainly be the end of the NYTimes. I don't believe that is the case. I speak from my own perspective, my Dad used to be a VP at the NYTimes and both my father and mother were journalists.
I don't believe a guy with Woodward's reputation or the NYTimes reputation would throw it all away for this.

I'm sure your insider parents were professionals and would be shocked by what is happening at the Times. The credibility they and CNN and WaPo and others once enjoyed is no longer in effect. It means nothing anymore. It's like comparing the Sears of today with their reputation throughout the 20th century. Today these media titans of old don't bother even correcting past errors anymore.
None of these reporters like Woodward or Bernstein risk anything by deceptive writings. Look at Cory Booker's grandstanding in the Kavanaugh hearings, claiming an historic "
I am Spartacus" moment, when he knew all along that (1) the documents were already cleared for release, and (2) the documents actually exposed his racist claims against the nominee.
The liberal Press will never expose their own, so what "risk" do any of them really have? Their viewing public
only remember or get to see the initial accusations.
