The difference is presumably that those sources keep feeding them interesting information, so they have to respect their anonymity to avoid jeopardizing that relationship. Scott is only good for one story, so they can treat him however they want.

Presumably there are many other one-off sources that would see this behavior and then not talk to the NYT, so I’m not convinced that explains it.
