3. The New York Times should have learned these lessons already
Back in the 1930s and 1940s, the NYT knew about Hitler's Holocaust in Germany.

Fearing that they would be seen as a "Jewish newspaper" if they made too much noise about it, the NYT covered the story, but in vague way, buried deep within the paper. I think I remember hearing that the concentration camps never made it past page 8 in the NYT until everyone else was covering it.

I forget where I read this, so corroboration or refutation is welcome.
