Things like integrity and trust matter more than ever, so the idea that newspapers would jeopardize that to get back at a somewhat meaningless scoop is pathetic.
The time will soon come when we cannot trust anything we don't see with our own eyes, and we will then need to have a web of trust with reliable sources.
Newspapers can still capitalize on being a source of trust and truth, if they don't fuck it up.
Of course, the NYT is still pretty reliable on citations of fact, even if their slant is worse than it should be.
