> It's just not a nice thing to do

No, this goes far beyond "not nice"

This is an attempt to bully competition (both in ideology and in business) off the internet by putting their personal well-being in danger.

This kind of defamation+doxxing is just utterly despicable. Journalists who repeatedly pull this kind of stunt should be fired.

And setting aside how this type of thing affects the individual victim, consider how it harms journalism as a whole, by painting journalists as untrustworthy immoral backstabbing asshats.

Put bluntly: when populists like trump call the media liars, the saddest part is that they're not wrong.
