The media is refusing to publish the hacked Trump Campaign material

Of course when it came to the hacked DNC material in 2016, the media couldn't get enough of it and essentially followed Trump's direction by publishing as much as they could.

Add this to the list of double standards.....

Hacked Trump Campaign Material On JD Vance Leaked to Three Major News Outlets, All of Which Chose Not To Print It

Three major news outlets, The Washington Post, Politico, and The New York Times, all received hacked material from former President Donald Trump’s campaign and so far have not published any of the material or offered specifics about exactly what they received.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the outlets have only “written about a potential hack of the campaign and described what they had in broad terms.” Politico published a story on the material on Saturday, noting that someone who self-identified as “Robert” started sending emails leaking campaign documents on July 22nd and has since sent a 271-page vetting document about Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and a shorter vetting report on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

The Times and the Post received similar emails and all three outlets have since confirmed the materials to be legitimate. “Like many such vetting documents, they contained past statements with the potential to be embarrassing or damaging, such as Mr. Vance’s remarks casting aspersions on Mr. Trump,’ wrote the Times of the report they received.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung released a statement over the weekend calling on the media not to publish materials from the hack, which he blamed on Iran, and declared that “any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications are doing the bidding of America’s enemies.”

1. Catch and kill -

It's not just for the National Enquirer anymore.

[Think. Again.]

2. Maybe a FOIA request to Homeland Security would help?

At least, I HOPE they're collecting evidence of known foreign election interference actions these days.

3. Not even the recipes?

7. Ugh...

I just lost my Wheaties.

[Hugin]

4. Is that maybe because the break-in happened...

AFTER the leak?

[getagrip_already]

5. All they need to do is follow the wikileaks formula with trumpileaks

On some international server. Let the guardian, or bbc, or some other foreign paper publish first, and then the gates will open.

Just saying. Not encouraging.

Its still wrong. Hypocritical as fuck, but wrong.

19. If this is wrong, I don't want to be right

[yourout]

6. I'm guessing they smell a potential Dan Rather moment

[Qutzupalotl]

8. Do they sense Trump is trying to dump Vance?

That he leaked the materials as cover, and they don't want to be a party to that process?

Because I think Trump should be forced to carry him to term.

9. I just sent a letter to the Washington Post's editor asking why they were obeying TSF.

10. And Lawrence O'Donnell is on vacation this week.

One hopes Ali Velshi takes this new example of media bias and hypocrisy and treats it like O'Donnell would: wipe the floor with their double standards of reporting.

11. Fuckers

12. Whoever leaked that document in the first place needs to send it to a more public forum.

Today the Washington Post would refuse to publish or even allow the investigation by Woodward and Bernstein about Watergate because they would protect a Republican president. It’s sad to see a once-great paper reduced to a forum for right-wing opinion writers and journalists either too afraid of Trump or not allowed to report the truth about him.

13. If the hacker wants the info out they need to send it to ProPublica.

[yardwork]

14. But when the DNC emails were hacked in 2016.... remind me what happened?

[DFW]

16. According to Republicans

The media did the bidding of America's enemies.

[Grins]

15. Now do Wikileaks.

I’m well-convinced Vance is a shit, but want to know what else is in there about Trump, Bannon, Stone, etc.

17. The media is about making money, not fairness.

Perhaps if Democrats were more gullible consumers, the targeted demographics of advertisers would cause media companies to tilt their coverage. As it is, if MSNBC is any indication, Democrats and fellow travelers seem mostly into cruises on floating tenements, expensive electric SUVs and pharmaceutical treatments with horrible side-effects for various ailments. Oh yeah, almost forgot, and "natural" memory-enhancement supplements. Gotta get me some of them.

18. the proceeds of a criminal action almost certainly carried out by

an enemy state ...

Somehow - - don't think I'll have a real big problem with this.
And, sometimes - I do tend to wonder a little bit about some of the voices ...

(Incidentally - it's already reported that investigations are ongoing on hacks of both campaigns ... Just food for thought.)
