I’m not sure that with regard to the NY Times, the target of the wiretapping is relevant. It’s classified information and they were given some of that information. That’s a felony.

Well, the one who GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION committed the felony and that person’s identity needs to be discovered.
The Times or the Post or any other news agency cannot be prosecuted for receiving the information under the first amendment.
