54. Ahhh but are we not talking about AP (and the OP's NYT)

I have subs to WaPo, NYT, The Atlantic, The Philly Inquirer, The Philly Tribune, & Mother Jones, and The Nation (and some mags like Nat Geo).

The problem - particularly with AP, is that they feed most of the smaller media markets and their print/broadcast outlets (I used to work at my college radio station years ago as an example, and we had AP's teletype and audio feed service that we would use for our news broadcasts). And once AP runs with something, it gets spread far and wide fairly rapidly (like you see social media doing today). So when they DO skew their headlines, away it goes nationwide.
