Does the use of the word "trove" bother anyone else?

6. When I first noticed in relation to

... the email on Weiner's computer, I think it was a Fox story, so I wrote it off as propaganda. Then I saw it in NYTimes and CBS pieces and was surprised.

It's been used in relation to wikileaks documents. It fits when applied to something like the docs Snowden released. Those were a "treasure trove" of information. And the information had been hidden from us in the name of "national security."

Don't know how it ended up being used as a synonym for more neutral terms like "batch" or "collection." Maybe reporters don't know the difference. Or just like how it sounds. A least it isn't appearing in things from the AP or Reuters (that I've seen anyway). I guess they are more thoughtful about editorial standards.
