With the exception of whistleblowing it is wrong to publish internal communications that were clearly meant to stay internal.
How would Kara feel if her email was compromised and someone decided to choose which emails should be made public for no other reason than voyeurism and pageviews?
HN shouldn't even allow the links.
- laacz 14y agoI believe that she knew this message will be "leaked". It would be close to stupid to think otherwise. Hell, this message was written with leaking taken in account.
- gojomo 14y agoIt's a journalist's job to get the internal story, even if that requires exploiting various forms of petite disloyalty. Also, a rah-rah message this generic was written with the expectation it would be leaked. And, Swisher as a journalist would likely expect (and perhaps even respect) if her own correspondents leaked her own emails, if and when it could advance a story of industrywide interest. Journalists aren't especially thin-skinned, naive, or hypocritical about such things.
