I'm not sure if that NYT article's been edited since it was originally 
published or what. It's so brief and conflicts with a screenshot I see on 
Twitter that I don't know what to think. Maybe it's simply that I'm not 
subscribed to the NYT anymore? (Of course, I'll never subscribe to WP because 
Bezos doesn't need my money.)

A little more context, here: 
https://lawandcrime.com/politics/wapo-editor-squashed-2018-woodward-article-that-wouldve-unmasked-kavanaugh-as-backstabbing-source-report/

It's interesting that Google returns a lot of right-leaning sources for this 
story, similar to the Slate Star Codex issue <https://slatestarcodex.com/>. I 
suppose it's thinly justified as right-leaners' opportunities to attack 
left-leaners' favorite sources. I enjoy things most when, e.g., orgs like the 
ACLU band together with, e.g., Reason to argue for privacy. Blatant 
partisanship annoys me. At least *pretend* to be open-minded! >8^D
