Well that's the question now isn't it? I don't think that you can just dismiss this report by the New York Times that easily, though I know a lot of people wish that it could be that easy. My issue with the NYT is that they seem to be jumping on whatever story they can that they can spin to the negative, much like CNN and MSNBC, and in this case, in my view, they got burned. If they knew Trump was being wire-tapped, and reported it, then who was doing it? They must have some proof. I don't think it was Obama, and I think it was really stupid of Trump to say that it was, especially on Twitter. But that being said, NYT should have been more careful in this instance in my opinion, and/or should tell us just who was wire-tapping Trump and his team, and why they were doing it.
