From just some casual readings of the emails, my impression is the same as yours. The most damning things I find are the level of control the Democratic party has on the mainstream media. The emails reveal a relationship very similar to the one between Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese official press. The Democratic party officials basically tell NYT, WoPo etc, what to say and how to say it. The party even decides what byline the writer should be using. As some one coming to US from mainland China, I find this collusion between the media and the Democratic party familiar, yet the case with US is much more disturbing. Because in China, the relationship between CCP and the press is out in the open, people knew the press is the mouthpiece of the party and treat the information they receive from the press accordingly. Here in US, people do not know. This is truly frightening.
