The answer to your second question of course depends on your own idea of what constitutes "bad news"; but I think it's not hard to imagine why some people might not consider it a good thing when folks are getting duped into revealing information outside its intended audience.
It's curious that I can't resist writing this when you likely already knew and ignored it when you wrote your comment.
I feel embarassed because people vilified my comment about Boris using this piece of news with a political cover motive. I am sorry, saying this is different than being a negationist. I hope more people get it now that I honestly try to explain myself better. Thanks.
