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 this one is still going around on Trump Twitter. No self-control on this wave of disinformation. https://twitter.com/khanoisseur/status/788101060476805120 …

Do people read the highlighted, red-marked texts that go viral from hacked emails? No, they don't.pic.twitter.com/ADZP59jkqF

So the theory is one develops advanced codespeak to "put a contract" on a supreme court justice but then puts it all on one's regular email?pic.twitter.com/QhDbsStZMT

Constant pattern on Wikileaks & Trump Twitter. Take emails SENT TO Podesta as indication of Clinton campaign stance. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/790223130048466945 …
