I'm not sure the follow-up story is necessary, but one way to look at it is that they were successful at publishing news that some people care about.

It's not always clear when "getting a reaction" is just trolling or what a quality newspaper should set out to do. It depends if you agree with the editors about what's newsworthy.

But if leaks keep happening at this rate, I suspect TGIF isn't going to happen for much longer.
