When James O' Keefe tries to run a fake witness scam on the Washington Post, and the newspaper successfully detects it, the community responds with "Well played!"

When a university submits intentionally buggy patches to the Linux Kernel, and the maintainers successfully detect it, the community responds with "That was an incredibly scummy thing to do."

I sense a teachable moment, here.

I think O'Keefe is scummy, too.

Being a Linux Kernel maintainer is a thankless job. Being a Washington Post journalist is nothing more than doing Bezos' bidding and dividing the country in the name of profit.
