Deflecting is a type of reporting. It's one where you focus on anything and everything except the core of the problem in order to try to deflect attention from it. This issue isn't a matter of management practices or ethics, it's a matter of the head of a company engaging in widespread criminal behavior. To frame it as the former is like arguing that Madoff was just a case of "poor accounting practices."
I don't think there is winning this with you, but you are comparing apples to oranges. The TFA mentioned above is "news" because it was reporting on the interview SBF just did, not a recap of the whole thing.
The CNBC article is "news" because it was breaking the news on the back door, transfer of funds, etc. It was new news at the time. Here is CNBCs coverage of the interview where you can compare to NYT apples to apples: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/30/former-ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-f...
There is a cadence to the news cycle. Not every articles is summative. Some are reporting on latest developments, hot takes, etc.
