    emptywheel actively participated in a law enforcement investigation that she was actively covering, and then hid this fact from readers for many months. Media then took her claimed rationale at face value (as though collaborating with the FBI is normal journalistic activity)

        She also specifically admitted that she TURNED OVER A SOURCE TO THE FBI, proactively and voluntarily. This is supposed to be one of the worst sins of journalism: unforgivable treachery. But her rationale was barely even scrutinized. Instead, she was celebrated. Embarrassing.

        Here she admits that her collaborative activities were "appreciated" by the Special Counsel's office. I'm sure.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1098426284244377601 …

        For the benefit of @mtracey and others: I did not speak with Mueller. I spoke to another part of DOJ/FBI abt something understood to be separate. But I did give a heads up to Mueller's office I was going to write about it; they seemed appreciative I did.

        Here's part of the rationale she gave for her flabbergasting journalistic decision, on July 3, 2018, after concealing her FBI collaboration for many months. It was basically a patriotic thing, you see.pic.twitter.com/hYsOXCtx23

        While she makes this massive "disclosure" on her blog posts, it's not disclosed in her various media appearances where she's promoted as an authority on Mueller. Nor has the fact that she has a *direct, personal stake* in the investigation been adequately scrutinizedpic.twitter.com/O5jvMjqoTa

        What I'm most galled by is the fact that she was largely *celebrated* for this by fellow journalists, who in any other context would've denounced what she did as an obvious disgrace

        All this journalistic maleficence you comment on is due to what? I would say the evolution of reporters to activist. As activists, journalists & reporters can rationalize breaking the ethical standards that once existed or at least was claimed to exist in the name of objectivity

        How many U.S. journalists routinely collaborate with elements of the FBI/CIA? I bet the number exceeds 500.

        And has her rationale ever been adequately scrutinized? Has the fact that she's personally invested in the Mueller investigation ever been seriously scrutinized? How about the the fact that she hid her collaboration for many months?
