I doubt the Times would ever admit to publishing a story with the goal of hindering the formation of a right-wing narrative but in this case if they did, it might have been the right call as opposed to waiting for Rufo and publishing a "fact check" of his reporting later.

If they keep getting gamed by the right, umm, maybe they are just rightwing transphobes?

They are neoliberals, which is basically center-right. They aren't being gamed, that's their stance.

Yeah I think I lost faith in them a while ago. I don't trust them or WaPo anymore.

The New York Times is Right Wing.
Nearly all corporate media is.

I don't like having to defend the Times, but the rumor is that they rushed this story out before Christopher Rufo could break the news (with what would almost certainly be a right-wing spin).
