Targeted hacking of political campaigns isn't FOIA. As soon as an dissident group amounts to anything, it will be destroyed via this method.

There's a chance to not normalize this—by treating it like the danger to the ecology of news & politics it is while it affects the powerful.

Instead, few seem to be able to take their eyes of the candy falling from the piñata, to see the buzzsaw coming this way. ::sigh::

Also people who believe such mass hacks challenge power. Nope. They confuse most people, which is fatal to dissent.. https://twitter.com/_Drew_McCoy_/status/786994678008688640 …

By the way, the Pentagon Papers was the opposite of this. It revealed what public had unquestionable right to know and in a focused way.

This so much of what's going viral from the Podesta hack. Enormous dust.https://twitter.com/poniewozik/status/787371266143641600 …

And this is what it all fits into. Even the things that might have been newsworthy are lost in a cloud of confusion.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/786990927567024131 …

Like this. Provides no link (not that anyone reads). It's an email TO Podesta, but passed as Clinton campaign. AND actual email is sensible.pic.twitter.com/0eOKbaKQSr

Or this. Again, it's from an email TO Podesta. Again passed off as Clinton/Podesta. FWIW it's from an African-American baseball player.pic.twitter.com/3rJIdNW5Yg

No shortage of this. While we focus on—IMO poorly-handled—traditional media response to hacked emails, huge dust kicked up on social media.

Again, this is a form of misinformation. Social media amplification is huge, and almost all misleading AFAICT.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/786990927567024131 …

While there is a sterile (and IMO short-sighted) debate on which email tidbit is "newsworthy", we're missing the huge disinformation wave.

Even Assange is aware of how this works based on his comment to Megyn Kelly. He is counting/depends on the spin & disinformation.pic.twitter.com/Sgb6rREiqr
