I'm agnostic on this one, and believe features should _usually_ be
highlighting several articles on the newswire (as people know I've
objected on occasions in the past myself). However:-

This is an example of a feature where there cannot be more than one or
possibly two newswire posts. Unlike an action or something else with
broader involvement where there could, at least, be numerous reports
there just can't be here. There have been, and will be, others like it.
This list needs to decide on these occasions if the issue is politically
worth highlighting.

In this specific case highlighting previous examples of paid
infiltrators of course helps make it a 'feature' but isn't actually
necessary for the feature itself.
