The Mamdani piece required the Times reporting hacked personal data. Hard to make the case that the story is of such newsworthiness that it should be published given its origins. The Pentagon Papers, it ain’t. It is also clearly rewarding the hackers. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
For example, in the run-up to the 2024 election, a foreign adversary hacked a presidential campaign, and tried to shop the story to various media. The foreign adversary was Iran, the campaign it hacked was Trump's (including vetting materials about JD Vance), and the media that chose not to publish the materials included the New York Times. This piece in the Post explains the reasoning of editors who felt burned when dealing with hacked materials in the past: "This episode probably reflects that news organizations aren't going to snap at any hack that comes in and is marked as 'exclusive' or 'inside dope' and publish it for the sake of publishing," said Matt Murray, executive editor of The Post.
