A good look at the most recent "quid pro quo" hacked email accusation, and again highlights how easy it is for someone uninitiated to find things that sound bad but aren't when the context is understood.
Which wouldn't be so bad except that most people wouldn't take the time to understand (ETA: And I don't think it's reasonable that everyone should, people have lives to lead, so I'm not directly blaming people), and lots of the media don't either, so the misconception that favours were given to hide an problem becomes part of the "facts" people believe.
