A scoop is a scoop is a scoop - well, sort of

Scoops nowadays aren't what they used to be. Here's New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. describing the journalistic reality of his paper's White House bank surveillance exclusive: "We put it out on the web, I'm gonna say roughly around 9, 9 pm... The Wall Street Journal matched us at 10, the Los Angeles Times matched us at 11. So, you know, a scoop is a scoop for about a nanosecond now - but it's a scoop." (Via beet.tv)
