I was wrong.
The perception of bias is all that is needed for Alito to recuse. The author has her own reasons for publishing now.
Agreed. That perception would be so much stronger if the author just answered "How did I come by this photo?" I'm betting the source (likely her disgruntled neighbor) delivered it recently and demanded anonymity.
I'm guessing you're right but NYT should just say so.
