Fact is it was the Times that outed the story. The WSJ hopped on the band wagon when it became known that the story was going to be broken. Not that they weren't acting opportunistically but, I find it hard to believe that Paul Gigot would have broken this story if the Times hadn't already committed to doing so. The LA Times is another story. They would release a damaging story in a heartbeat.
All the elite media in NY and Hollywood write and broadcast for each other.
They could care less about their country or its citizens.
I think the same way you do, about the differences among the papers.
