Media who are implicated in perpetuating the false allegation that Trump was a traitor reacted poorly to the news that Barr was given authority to bring some transparency to the Russia collusion narrative that had been effective precisely because it was shrouded in secrecy.
As the media carry water for their leaking sources who selectively released information to perpetuate a false conspiracy theory of Russia collusion, it is worth remembering other recent times they claimed that transparency would have devastating results.
Stefan Halper's Outing By WaPo and NYT. Among the most bizarre tag-team actions by the media and their sources was the outing of Stefan Halper in the pages of The New York Times and Washington Post - all while claiming that others were doing the outing.
As Congress, performing oversight, began asking questions about the running of human informants against an opposing party's presidential campaign, the media began quoting their sources saying that merely asking questions about this was tantamount to outing the individual.
The New York Times appears to be trying this game again by revealing information about another source that was used to perpetuate the false conspiracy theory.
The leakers of this information to The New York Times would likely be very high level, perhaps from the previous administration.
The implicated parties - whether in the media or in the government - have cried wolf too many times to be taken seriously again.
