NYT covering up the Taliban kidnapping of another reporter?

Multiple sources in Afghanistan tell me that The New York Times is attempting suppress the reporting on Farrell’s kidnapping. The The New York Times did the same thing with journalist David Rohde when he was kidnapped in eastern Afghanistan late last year. Rohde was released earlier this year after escaping from a Haqqani Network compound in North Waziristan. While Rohde’s kidnapping was not publicized, his escape was the subject of abundant reporting. The media has not afforded the US military the courtesy of a news blackout when US troops have been captured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
