Ezra's actual statement here has a few missing items: [It was their job to get a Hillary win] [The only reason to be honest is to retain credibility when you need it] Reporting at all on the emails pushed some voters away from her Therefore shouldn't have reported on the emails

It really is a revealing complaint. The tacit assumption here is that their preferred candidate (Hillary in this case) is entitled to control of the media-landscape, the news-cycle. Anything that derails that control ('the emails', also Russia's 'meddling') is inherently invalid.
