I'm catching up after rescuing 30 days of FRIAM from the spam folder.

In an even more meta-news context, The New York Times revealed yesterday that the Washington Post pulled a Bob Woodward article that would have outed Bret Kavanaugh as an anonymous source, directly contradicting testimony Kavanaugh was giving about what he did and did not do while serving on Ken Starr's staff.  Keeping faith with your sources.   https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/28/business/media/martin-baron-washington-post.html

Slate Star Codex must remain anonymous

I don't know anything about Cade Metz <https://www.nytimes.com/by/cade-metz>. I do/did follow SSC quite closely and hope the NYT does not print his surname (assuming they haven't already and I just don't know about it). But what's more interesting to me is this rabbit hole: http://archive.vn/1TvMm [†]

But on the topic of the NYT's credibility, Op-Eds are one thing. This seems different. Most of the other outlets criticizing the threat to print ScottA's surname seem to lean right. National Review and Reason being the more credible ones. I'm having trouble sorting out where this kerfuffle lies.
