I think most of the interested people on the internet knew/suspected this for awhile. The threshold of credibility for modern journalism seems to be well prepared documents presented in a trial. Lawyers are the investigative journalists now.
In a way, journalism is dead. In another way it has never been more alive. We have lost the illusion of trusted authorities and must make sense out of the noise.
