What if there is no narrative and they're just writing stories about leaks regardless of who they help or hurt because that's what they do?
Id think this if they hadnt already exposed themselves.
They write about how Trump would be the end to freedom of the press yet after maybe a week completely ignored where the Obama administration was charging reporters with espionage.
They write about how Trump is "losing Carrier" yet ignored that the plant was going to completely close.
They essentially place 100% of their faith in the IC about anything negative with the Trump administration yet James Clapper is a proven liar.
One of the fact checkers has the exact same statment from Bernie and Trump as
mostly true and mostly false respectively.
The list could go on. The press has an agenda.

The Obama administration never charged a single reporter with espionage.
They charged officials who leaked classified information with espionage. WaPo and the New York Times both wrote extensively about the subject and were very critical of him for it.
Trump, meanwhile, openly called for the execution of leakers as a candidate. He excluded several respected news sources from a White House briefing (including the New York Times, LA Times, and the BBC). And he asked Comey to throw journalists who cite anonymous sources in jail.
