Politico ran a "what's new in Wikileaks" running story; I read it. Most of it was irrelevant to the election. It was just there.

: So your issue is that journalists should only write about election-related news/information during elections?

They should strive to provide voters with information that is most pertinent to the decision they will make.

Email server=real story, disproportionate coverage. Campaign internal discussions=mostly trivia unless corruption or fraud.

: You still didn't answer my question. Are journalists allowed to report on non-election-related material during elections?

The question isn't allowed. Of course they are "allowed". The question is: what does good journalism look like and focus on.

: Again, different reporters focus on different things. Breaking news reporters are different from enterprise reporters.

Maybe breaking news reporters should notice, hey, we are being fed fairly minor stuff everyday, and think how to respond.

Editors probably more responsible. You can't just report what's dropped in front of your nose; someone should think priorities.
