There is a reason for journalistic standards for publication.

1. Authenticity.

2. Motivation.

3. Importance.

When Iranians/Russians/Chinese hack political campaigns, they

1. Can falsify data, or inject errors.

2. They can "editorialize" the leak before publication to have a bias.

3. They can reveal information not relevant for the public but really harmful for the individual.

Let voters decide my ass. The purpose of journalism is to distill data for people to decide.
