People shouldn't necessarily trust the Washington Post either, who is beholden to their sources in the NSA.

The Washington Post covered Snowden's leaks of unconstitutional actions by the NSA, won a Pulitzer Prize for the coverage, only to then stab him in the back and call for his prosecution.

You can use the leaks and still be critical of the way it was done.

I've heard speculation that the change in attitude was tied to regime change at the Post in the wake of the Bezos acquisition.

WaPo is the WSJ of D.C. They know which side their bread is buttered on.
