On one level the career of Eoghan Harris makes perfect sense - he has always been with whoever was 'putting it up to the Provos' as he viewed it, which brought him to the door of Sindo. It's sad someone with such intellect defined themselves politically only by what they hated.
There are a few interesting historic Eoghan Harris pieces on Left Archive:

'The Necessity of Social Democracy' - published after the defeat of the Socialist States in 1990 is an important read in WP history.

....and the Irish Industrial Revolution, which it was rightly pointed out here last night owes as much to Eamon Smullen, then Director of Economic Affairs in WP, is a very important read from an earlier and more hopeful time: https://www.leftarchive.ie/document/389/
Historians are already grappling with Harris and his impact (see the excellent 'The Lost Revolution') and he warrants serious examination for contributions over decades. It's wild to me someone who shaped so much would be wasting time and upsetting people trolling Twitter.
