54. Why Olbermann is breaking this story and not the NYT?

On Wiki it says that Tice was a source for the NYT article about illegal wiretaping.

"Media reports on January 10, 2006, indicated Tice was a source of the Times leak, which revealed that, under the direction of the White House and without requisite court orders, the NSA has been intercepting international communications to and from points within the US."

If Tice was a source for the NYT story did he also tell them at that time that journalists were being targeted? If he did why didn't they report it in their original story? If Tice didn't tell them back then why did he choose to tell Olbermann now and not go through the NYT again? Did Tice go to the NYT before he spoke with Olbermann? If not, why not? If he did why didn't they report it?
