Politico Withholds Hacked Trump Campaign Emails for 3 Weeks, Sparking Debate
Aug 10, 2024, 08:02 PM
Recent reports indicate that Politico is in possession of hacked emails from the Trump campaign but has not yet published them. This situation contrasts with the 2016 election, where media outlets, including Politico, promptly released hacked emails from the Clinton campaign. The decision by Politico to withhold the Trump campaign emails for 3 weeks has sparked debate about the ethics and responsibilities of journalists in handling leaked information. Some argue that reporters have a duty to publish newsworthy content, while others caution against becoming tools for hackers with potentially malicious intent. The discussion echoes the controversies of the 2016 election, where hacked emails played a significant role in media coverage.
