It’s polite, but not necessary, to credit a competing journalist who breaks news first
“[M.G.] Siegler’s scoop was fantastic, but getting it wasn’t the news. Apple buying Chomp was the news. No-one owes us politeness, and hearing a story first doesn’t make us part of the story. It gives us a first-mover advantage. Isn’t that enough?”
