How come the MSM is treating the Podesta leaks...

[LAS14]

.... differently (more rationally) than it treated Hillary's e-mail flap? If you looked under the covers there was no more "there there" for the one than the other. Is it possible that this nutty election has taught something to the MSM?

So delicious.

2. I think it's due to the mystery or lack thereof.

For much of the Hillary emails story, there was some mystery or uncertainty related to the content of the emails so the media could work the possibly illegal behavior angle. With the Podesta emails, the content has proven to be exceptionally boring with no mystery. Thus there is no story there or fears to fan.

6. they could argue there was a "national security" issue with her emails (even though there wasn't)

not so for Podesta's hacked emails... mostly his are gossip.

8. And he's not running for President

Its just stupid shit

11. maybe they're sick of trying to pretend it's a horse race between equivalent contenders?

i'm getting a vibe that the MSM is sick of tRump and his bullshit, and they'd rather cover the election as a train wreck for the Republican party.

12. I've gotten that feeling, too...

although it's probably that the media realizes they get the best ratings when they're trashing Trump instead of trying to build him up. LOL
