It was so corny that these two liberal news outlets both posted a story at the time Trump boarded Air Force one.

Sometimes you simply only have anonymous sources to go on. It's not a case of "Do the invoices exist?" or "Is there an x-ray?" Journalists have to make judgments. Poor judgments will result in those newspapers failing. The fact that the New York Times has been going since 1851 and has a robust investigative record suggests the paper generally gets it right.
There will obviously be a few Trumpsters or Hillaryheads commenting on every article but I doubt they're investigative reporters.
