Because although Judith Miller's "reporting" remains a very dark blot on the Grey lady's escutcheon, and an indictment of its editors' cowardice and cringing collaboration as the Cheney Shogunate trampled the Constitution and pawed the earth, the Times remains, rather like the government of Prussia* as Hitler consolidated his hold on Germany, among the last institutional strongholds of resistance. Would you rather rely on the Indianapolis Star?

*I recommend Christopher Clark's Iron Kingdom to anyone interested in the fascinating history of Prussia, including its unjustly ignored resistance to the rise of the Nazis and its dissolution by the victorious Allied powers. More info here, assuming you'll trust the opinion of a Yankee rag.
