As of 1:41pm PST, there is no mention of this news anywhere on the front page of the NY Times website. There have been similar ...time lags... in the past when covering Snowden related news at the NYT. It's a shame one of the most important news sources in the US is so slow in their coverage, either intentionally or not.
The NY Times is not Reddit. They will check the story through their own sources before publishing. They're not just going to repost the Washington Post story.
They're slow on Snowden stores because they do not have direct access to the Snowden documents, like the Guardian and WashPo do.
Of course the NY Times are not Reddit. Why are you even bringing that up?
The AP, Fox News, NPR, PBS, CNN, LA Times, ... all have reported on the story in the Washington Post. The NY Times has not, and that's unfortunate. It's a major news event.
