Arabic term or phrase: مبرر
Do you think that مبرر is مبرِّر (a justification) or مبرَّر (justified) in this sentence? Could it be either or is it certainly only one or the other? Both meanings would make sense in the overall context.

This is the complete sentence:
وكأنما الحديث عن [موضوع ما] مبرر إعلاميا ولكن ليس في الوثائق الرسمية

Thanks!
