There has been some debate about the ethics of Klippenstein’s reporting on the stolen information. Some critics worry that the coverage inadvertently supports the efforts of foreign actors to intervene in, and influence, the U.S. elections. But it is not the journalist’s job to make themselves part of the security state; it is their job to help inform the public so it may have a better defense against outside influence.
