That was Dumpy's "hometown paper." As such they probably knew a lot about his sordid past long before 2015 and had the resources to dig even deeper. Did some big monied interests in NY (NYSE?) bribe or pressure NYT management to keep it all under wraps and give him a positive spin, perhaps expecting some big payoff in case he should somehow win the election?
