That is not true at all. Fox covered it heavily, as far as I know; the New York Times and Washington Post both seemed to publish a new articles on the topic daily; CNN seemed to cover it heavily. Who didn't cover that story?
- rokosbasilisk 10y agoCnn covered the dnc leaks in a extraordinary biased way. Telling people it was illegal for them to view it themselves. Also the huffington post, cnn, msnbc, wapo, and nytimes did not cover it objectively. I hear tons of complaints from Bernie Supporters still to this day on campus.

- grzm 10y agoChris Cuomo on CNN: “Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us.” This has been interpreted by some as you can't view or read them, as you likely need to download them, at least in your browser, to be able to view them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/10/17/remember-its-illegal-to-possess-wikileaks-clinton-emails-but-its-different-for-the-media-says-cnns-chris-cuomo/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

- hackuser 10y agoIf Popehat and the Volokh Conspiracy are the typical sources, I suspect it's a slip of the tongue or mind blown way out of proportion, not some sort of official CNN policy or report. EDIT: Searching around, all I see are similar sources: Infowars, Breitbart, etc. Maybe he said it (and who knows what the context was), but I don't think see any evidence it was more than a gaff. Certainly I never heard it from them or anyone else.

- hackuser 10y agoI don't know Techdirt, but the others are outlets of the conservative ideological movement. I'm not sure what the Observer article has to do with the issue at hand?
