Who in their right mind would go on record blasting a company worth as much as Amazon? It'll ruin their career. Unless corporations stop being as powerful, whisper networks are all we have.

The NYT has a great track record of protecting their sources.

Except when they don't. Did you miss the Scott Alexander / SlateStarCodex saga recently? It revealed that NYT's policies around revealing people's identity are pretty hit-and-miss.

Scott Alexander was the subject of a story, not an anonymous journalistic source which is what the poster you replied to was referring to when they said the NYT protects their sources.

I am not disputing that the NYT revealed his full name, they absolutely did so that, against his wishes.

Not aware of this. But as a former NYT employee, I can tell you they try harder than anyone else out there.
