      Tracey wrote a Medium essay on this: how we should be grateful to Russia.

      Beyond the factional interests, there's also just a kind of Fight the Power/Leaks Are Truth and Truth Is Good journalist whose brain and worldview are incapable of handling the problems that go with leaks originating from state actors

      I think there's a legitimate argument to be made that stories are worth writing even if source is Russian hack. Trouble is they take it a step further and say hacks were benign.

          Yup. The media framed the hack as a sordid secret revealed, when actually it was mostly petty ffice gossip. And they conflated it with the unrelated email server security story, because of the word “email”. They covered it like a scandal despite the lack of scandalous info.

          Of course there's an argument to be made, and there's an argument to be made against, and there's a judgment to land on, but that's work and it requires a person to be able to say "We made some mistakes and we'd have done things differently if we'd known"

          Unless the stories begin with heavy explainers providing context for the leaks and a full picture of the narratives within which said leaks reside (and motives of leakers), this is a great recipe for Bad Journalism, Actually, which, plenty of competition in that space already

          Replying to @mateosfo @HeerJeet and

          Oddly enough though, rather than saturating the market all the competition for Worst Act of Journalism seems to be creating new markets for Bad Takes. Great if you're an innovative disruptor, not so great if you care about democracy and the credibility of the 4th estate.

          If the information can be verified from other sources? Maybe. But if the hack mixes in unreliable information and journalists proceed to run with it? It is damaging in the extreme.
