There is a perception in the intelligence community that The Intercept has ties to Wikileaks and the kremlin (based on people with ties to the IC on twitter), so I assume they wanted to make a point.
I think we might also assume that other NSA leaks to MSM might have been done with some level of institutional approval.
If you're getting your news from IC twitter, you're going to have a bad time.
IC twitter takes Louise Mensch's insane conspiracy theories seriously, and legitimately believes that every malicious packet on the Internet is attributable Fancy Bear.
