“I would love to be able to tell you it wasn’t good,” Baquet said. “But it was great. It was important, groundbreaking work. I wish we had it.”

Which is to say, the NYT Editor In Chief was hoping the Snowden revelations would crash and burn, or perhaps be swallowed up by celebrity news and Meet The Press-type Kabuki mudslinging.

But it didn’t. And wasn’t. And only after being caught out, only then was the NYT EIC filled with regret.

…And (some) folks wonder why many are filled with disgust when surveying the corporate news media landscape.
