New York Times takes two week old piece, re-spins it and publishes it again to tell the opposite story

There's a front page NYT article today titled "Indictments Became a Political Asset for Trump." The article notes that with each indictment and arraignment in Trump's various criminal cases, he got a burst of donations from his supporters. But just two weeks ago, on July 31, 2023, the NYT ran an article noting that Trump's PAC was going broke because it is paying Trump's legal bills and those bills are far outpacing his donations. The weird thing is that article from two weeks ago also noted that Trump got a boost of donations every time he was indicted or arraigned. In fact, the July 31st article has exactly the same chart showing that burst of donations as today's article does.

This is from the July 31 article:

This is from the August 14 article:

Today's article calls the criminal cases an "asset" for Trump. But if the expenses from those cases exceeds the income generated from them, then it is really a liability. The first article made that very point. So why did they run a new article re-spinning the same data to make it seem like Trump is getting a net benefit from the criminal cases when they have already reported that he isn't?

Actually both articles are missing the real story, which is that Trump is using campaign donations to pay his personal legal expenses, which may be illegal. Why isn't the Times interested in that?
