None of the media outlets that were sent hacked content from former President Donald Trump's campaign have yet to publish the content.
As previously reported, a hacker obtained internal documents from the Trump campaign and then distributed them to at least three major media outlets: the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Politico.
But surprisingly, none of the outlets, all of them left-leaning, have published the hacked content, raising the question of why not.
“Instead, Politico, the New York Times and the Washington Post have all written about possible campaign hacking and described what they had in general terms,” ​​reports the Associated Press.
Trump campaign says it was hacked by 'foreign sources hostile to the United States'https://t.co/s2NOVjDFQu

According to the Times, the hacked documents include “research and evaluations of potential vice presidential candidates, including Senator JD Vance, who Mr. Trump ultimately selected.”
“Like many such investigative documents, they contained earlier statements with the potential to be embarrassing or damaging, such as Mr. Vance's remarks that criticized Mr. Trump,” the Times reported.
Is that why they haven't released the pirated content? That motive seems unlikely, critics say, given the left-wing media's 24/7 rush to attack the Trump campaign, especially during this election cycle.
Some suspect that the media is intentionally holding on to the hacked documents for now, but they plan to slowly begin releasing their potentially damaging content as Election Day 2024 approaches.
Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for Politico, said for his part that the outlet's editors had judged that “the questions about the source of the documents and how they came to our attention were more newsworthy than the material in them had in these documents”.
Meanwhile, delusional leftists amazingly think that the media is deliberately refusing to release the documents because they side with the Republicans, which is a ridiculous accusation.
But to defend this outrageous and easily debunked premise, leftists have started shouting about the notorious Wikileaks hacks of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
Look (*Language notice):
Among the media outlets that received Trump's hacked documents, most have decided not to publish them.
Why didn't they do the same with Hillary Clinton???

I expect the mainstream media to spend the next month talking about how Donald Trump is compromised as a candidate and cannot be trusted with national security, now that his campaign has been hacked.
Like they did to Hillary.

Wait, wait, wait, wait… so when Hillary and the DNC were hacked, the press released these emails, when Hunter Biden's laptop was stolen, the press released the contents. And now that the Trump campaign has been hacked the press suddenly develops journalistic ethics?????

The political press has completely failed in the Trump era. It's just not up to the task. WaPo/NYT sit on hacked Trump campaign emails after gleefully publishing hacked emails from Hillary's campaign and trashing her a lot. You have to understand why people are exasperated.

Regardless, it is now known that the hacker had also attempted to hack into President Joe Biden's now-defunct presidential campaign.
“The FBI says it's investigating efforts to hack both the Trump and Biden campaigns,” MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire reported Tuesday. “A source familiar with the matter told NBC News that the investigation includes hacking attempts targeting three Biden campaign staffers, as well as Roger Stone, a former adviser to Donald Trump.”
“This comes after the Trump campaign said on Saturday that it had been hacked and suggested that Iran was involved in the theft and distribution of internal verification documents on Sen. JD Vance, now Trump's running mate.” he continued
In addition, Lemire noted through the Washington Post that the FBI has been investigating since June and suspects that Iran is behind the attempted attacks.
The Trump campaign, meanwhile, has responded to the hack by urging left-wing media not to publish any of the hacked content.
“Any outlet or media outlet that reprints internal documents or communications is doing the bidding of America's enemies,” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said over the weekend.
