I personally blame that more on wikileaks and “The Media”
Wikileaks was very much put forward as paragons of journalism and so forth. And ignoring the editorialized headlines for a lot of their “leaks” (and I think a few were determined to be outright intentionally mislabeling footage?), they very much were not “journalists”, They basically just put anything and everything they were given online. Whether it is footage of US soldiers committing war crimes or the secret handshake of a sorority (seriously…). They did a lot of good and a LOT of bad.
She… probably should have done a better job of pre-filtering what she provided. But she also, likely, thought she was giving a CNN journalist the information rather than the equivalent of a kid on reddit.
