They didn't extend that courtesy to Trump with their hit locker room piece or some of their own hit pieces made up of 'off record' interviews

"Mr. Rosenthal sent a digital copy of the recording to a newsroom editor whom he declined to name, with the reminder that there had been an agreement to treat portions of it as off the record."

Sorry? That article doesn't contain your quote and has no information that was given off the record as far as I can see?

Claiming that an interview done by NYT vs something leaked to the media requires the same protocol is also quite a stretch.

Anyways, the quote you include is from something completely different and not about the 'locker room' talk : http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/trumps-off-...
