Yes, other news outlets may do this, but you don't get the smarmy "Heehee, look what we got our hands on, heeheehee." smug crap from the New york times. TC is trying to have the best of both worlds here and generate pageviews while still trying to appear like they are on the moral high ground.
That's my direct answer to the previous poster who used the "but other media outlets do this as well" argument. I'm not sure if I espouse TC posting the info, but I definitely think they are a lot more smug about it than mainstream media allows themselves to be.
