There has been news reports sourcing anonymous documents, published as news by the New York Times ... followed by critical investigative thought that has determined the information presented from the anonymously sourced documents are false. Makes one wonder if the New York Times is sourcing the Internet ... but searching the internet has determined that the New York Times has another source of fake information.
Now in a recent story the New York Times is reporting on not having a news worthy event.
Trump Appears Unlikely to Hinder Comey’s Testimony About Russia Inquiry
It may be slightly news worthy if Trump were to invoke executive privilege. Slightly because conversations with an attorney are, by their nature, not evidence in legal cases. Everybody from a serious killer to a innocent child has the right to talk with counsel and ask questions for the benefit of a fair legal process. Questions asked to an attorney are not an indication of if somebody did something or not but of that person attempting to understand the legal system.
Invoking privilege may be a slight nuance, but not itself ground breaking or even particularly relevant. But reporting on things that did not happen is not reporting the news.
... Life was not found on Mars today.
... The moon did not change orbit today.
... A monster did not destroy Tokyo today.
... The chicken did not cross the road.
