yeah, Bloomberg ist not Breitbart, exactly.
I remember how weird I found it that this investigative IT news item made it into national German TV and paper news for 2 days, back then.
My impression from that was that the quoted parties, german and other politicians, and intelligence services people, were all too eager to discredit the investigation.
But: Bloomberg had been investigating that issue for longer than 12 months. (Isn't there a quote from a Nov. 2017 Apple -reply to Bloomberg's written question? Or Apple mentions that date in their rebuttal? )
So the story wasn't a quick shot without double and triple checking like you would expect from Breitbart-like media.
Also, the article was first published on a Wednesday so it wasn't intended to govern the weekend news cycle, either.
The article's publishing date also had nothing to do with Midterm or any other important election (I can think of).
If Bloomberg was fed false info over 12 months ago - exactly when did the involved party hope that the article got written and published?
