I think it's pretty clear wikileaks has been used in a partisan manner in the 2016 presidential elections. I don't believe most serious journalists would have published most of Podesta's emails, if any. Especially considering the probable sources.
- colordrops 8y agoWhy would they not publish these emails?
- bayesian_horse 8y agoBecause most of them are completely irrelevant and there is very little informational benefit to warrant this privacy violation. I mean... risotto recipes? After wikileaks published the material journalists did cover some of it. And even so, they partly regret that, in light of what we know now.
- harry8 8y ago"serious journalists" Approved by the state, perhaps?
- bayesian_horse 8y agoThose with a particular "traditional" ethics standard. Which is getting muddier by the day.
- harry8 8y agoIt really isn't. You're just becoming more aware of it. There are good journalists, dishonest journalists and everything in between at the Times, which for all its issues is still probably the best newspaper in the world. I'd be a fool to take what they say as fact because they say it as much as they pretend it's so.
