I think the reason is just cause it's the right thing to do. This story exposes another possible effort from the U.S to undermine "democracy", one that is trivial compared to the genocide in Gaza. Journalists involved in this investigation received legal threats, so maybe Drop Site just wanted to help their fellows while exposing the nonsensical punishments big officials place on people just doing perfectly ethical investigations.
Still, if I overthink hard enough I can still see the usual dark picture painted by these stories. I really, really do not want to replace REAL journalism with a bunch of government -funded CIA-liked investigations used everyday in political mudslinging competitions. Reporting half truths, even if they are all concrete facts that expose corruption, can be just as damaging as disinformation because lies that are sprinkled with facts work best to undermine what whole truths can bring about. You see it all the time in politics especially about Gaza where people state some facts about the wrongdoings of a few along with a slew of misinformation and then conclude that drone strikes/military coup/genocide/segragation is the answer.
