But it is by all appearances a sanctioned story, not least bc it puts best possible spin on Dems.

Sure, but my point is: whether docs came from DNC, FBI, etc., were provided by someone w/an agenda -- just like Guccifer, etc.

So, it's weird to say "NYT furthered Russian agenda" by reporting Guccifer stuff & not "NYT furthered ___ agenda w/this story."

Sources always have their own agenda, even if it's just their concept of the public good (and, IMO, it's usually not that).

But I do think they make it clear these were official Dem sources and so we should understand that's whose agenda it reflects

I suppose, but line critical of NYT reporting Guccifer stuff then implies that leaks are OK only if journos agrees w/agenda.

My reaction was to tweets implying this was a "self-own" by NYT, missing fact that story itself is furthering source's agenda.

Sure. Also, it couldn't have been a self-own given the way they blamed Intercept anyway.
