A larger number of people than before learned it was mainly funded by U.S. government groups of the sort paranoids might worry about. They do it to help both our cops/spies and foreign dissidents in governments the U.S. targets. Then, other groups in U.S. government are opposed to it since it conceals the threats to us (Four Horsemen of the Infacalypse) or just them (i.e. whistleblowers). "Left hand, right hand" thing on top of Pando's drama-inducing presentation typical of media outlets.
Tor supporters' reactions to it were even more interesting than the article, though. It was quite a test of both their honesty and public relations.
