Where are the actual documents? The reasons Masnick gives in the comments are extremely unconvincing: that there's "non-newsworthy" stuff in them (ok, and?) and that he doesn't want to do to a Verizon lobbyist what the Intercept did to Reality Winner.

If he'd just included a link to the documents, I'd have been interested in his interpretation. But after making a point of how long the 12-page document was, and then getting only a few quotes, I'm wondering what he's "editorializing" out of them.

From his comment: "There was other info in the document that I don't think is newsworthy and probably is not worth releasing publicly."

He doesn't literally say it, but I think the implication is that the information is in some way sensitive or private. I suppose he could have written that sentence and it would be technically true if the "info" was like, the weather that day, but I doubt that's what he meant.
