One of the other things a professional news org does is not fire its editorial page manager for printing an opposing viewpoint.

The New York Times is one of the most respected news organizations in the world, so if they're not a "professional news org", then who is?
Also, do you elaborate on your struggle with the NYT elsewhere? I'm interested, but you haven't given us much information at all.

Not anymore. The web advertising industry strongly effected the quality of their work. Now they're just another slightly larger news organization with a spotty track record.
It's a fair question, but I doubt it. While getting a hot scoop and dropping it with a bang is something that feels good (and sells papers, so to speak), it's not the driving force behind how a professional news org works. The NYT is a professional news org. One of the things a professional news orgs does is fact check, get statements, and give its sources a chance to respond.
