Media providing too much information

This morning I saw on Fox News that the NSA was tied to the US determination that North Korea hacked Sony.....

Why does the media feel the need to report on what the NSA is doing outside the US and it's boundaries? Why do we like to broadcast what the US is doing to our known enemies? Is this something we should stop?

NSA program reportedly helped US gather evidence against North Korea in Sony hack

A program implemented by the National Security Agency to help the U.S. and its allies track the computers and networks used by North Korean hackers was critical in gathering information that led Washington to conclude Pyongyang was behind last year's cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

It seems as though absolutely nothing is private in this day and age.

Some of the things I see on the news and the internet goes against all I have learned about secrecy.

Just my take.

When it comes to truth and things that really matter, we'll never really know. Media now days is bought and paid for so only certain things are told and the way "they" want it told. Like my Dad told me many years ago: "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see and you'll be alright!" Going through life, I've found he was right.

I would guess that the information was "provided" to them as a "show of capabilities" no different then Nuke Surety Inspections, Continuous Bomber Presence, or large scale exercises.

Do I know that it was provided to them? Nope! Yet it is completely plausible.
