Look, this is very simple: You and I don’t count. When the Times says it broke a story, it doesn’t mean that no one on the entire planet knew of the story. Obviously, someone had to know in order to tell Times. It just means that no one of any consequence knew the story. Did the London Times know the story? Did the Washington Post know the story? Did the LA Times or CBS know the story? No. So they are right, and you are wrong. Next time do not question your betters.
