Sarah Lacy would be skewered by the public if she said her goal was digging up dirt against a specific individual.
Similarly, she'd probably catch some negative press if she made questionable statements in a GQ article.
So no, she doesn't get special privileges.
If Uber wants to open a newspaper to advance their political agenda, they at least have to go through the pretense of reporting on everything, a la Rupert Murdoch.

I'm sure she might catch negative press - lots of harmless behavior creates negative press. I'm not asking how to manage the media, I have no interest in being a PR flack. I'm asking whether reporting on her questionable statements (the sort of thing opposition researchers do) would be "abhorrent". Similarly, would exposing and reporting on her personal emails and other parts of her private life (as Pando has done to Evan Spiegel) be "abhorrent"?
