NYT reporting that William F Buckley has died

Funny about this; this is the way Bloomberg reported it this am: "Wm F Buckley has died, NYT reports."

I mean, why qualify the headline? Do they doubt the NYT? Wouldn't they normally just check the source, run the headline "Wm. F. Buckley has Died" and then byline the story NYT?

I find this trival thing a bit odd. Noted.

I didn’t really give it much thought. I knew I wasn’t going to excerpt anything so I typed out the source and news in the headline.
