Why would they undermine themselves? These News Companies have _Expert_ IC individuals on payroll. If these articles had teeth wouldn't the embedded pro IC assets stop the undermining or would these individuals not be asked for their "opinion" on the articles prepublication?
> at its core are republicans
The article names Ron Wyden and Hakeem Jeffries as two lawmakers who are interested in reining in the power of the FBI, hardly Republicans those two.
DIA seems reasonable.
The FBI, CIA, NSA is filled to the brim with assholes. Who then blackmail and fund assholes that are meant to oversee them, but don't. Instead they enable the perverse sense of 'justice' we see in this world.
I am not some exterminist-minded person, but there is no denying the fact that FN psychos fill these orgs.

Ill give you an example from ~2005 or such, I think...
RSA conference in San Francisco.
I met the head of cyber security for the US... him and his team. They invited me to dinner as I worked for Lockheed.
There was a guy sitting at the table, maybe ~24-ish, super black bags under his eyes.. (meaning he didnt sleep much) and he was bragging the entire dinner about their red/blue hacking teams they were doing to hack shit...
Now this was a controlled environ of them plating team agains team to hack/infiltrate(physically -- lock picking etc) eachothers' area to get pay-dirt...
But it was the extreme psycho-pathy that really struck me...
I know that we have the best military there is, but it was truly weird to see the amount of glee that came from one who is empowered by the MIC in this way...
and this was the RSA conf nearly 20 years ago...
