Well, what I gathered was that Pres Obama's administration didn't note it in any formal announcements (and I don't know that they should have, but in December there was other news to be focused on...), and someone in NSA felt like now was the time to release it - [tinfoil] probably the same someone who thought Flynn's conversations were media worthy [/tinfoil]
The media, imo, doesn't care whether they look bad, they want as much piled on as they can, and if it's wrong or misleading they can issue a clarification in small print later.
