This particular case is not the world's biggest deal, but in general I'd like as much information as possible about my sources of information. Even if you don't care about the story at all, I find it striking that you think it should be kept secret.
Only publishing articles that are deemed to be newsworthy is not the same as keeping it secret. You seem to think that I'm in favour of some sort of a cover-up, there's nothing to cover-up.
