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.

She hid this fact for many months while covering the investigation. It's the kind of thing that would get you fired from a traditional media outlet.
