WikiLeaks Is Politics for Cowards
By Francis Wilkinson
The public release, via WikiLeaks, of purloined e-mails and documents related to Hillary Clinton and her campaign has produced starkly different reactions. On the whole, the news media is nonplused.
In a typically snarky tweet, Washington Post reporter David Weigel mocked the notion that the WikiLeaks dump would alter the dynamics of the election, summing it up with the purposefully mundane revelation that “Clinton strategists debated how to respond to controversies.”
The leaks, which may or may not be part of a Russian effort to undermine Clinton in order to advance her rival, largely expose routine political discussion among staff engaged in the constant, necessary balancing of policy, politics and presentation. It’s an equilibrium that any successful campaign must achieve before assuming leadership of a successful government....
...Credible opponents rise to the task. For cowards, there’s WikiLeaks.

nicely propagandized as well...
1. did you see anything about hillary having a public position and her real position?
2. they buried the fact CNN gave her the debate question... in one of the last sections
3. and they sickly spun the contents... for instance...
Palmieri: ‘Rich' people prefer their conservatives Catholic, not Evangelical
whereas... here is what they gave us below that headline... and I believe they left out the part about Podesta saying they created astro turf groups to change the mideval institution etc...
Palmieri: ‘Rich' people prefer their conservatives Catholic, not Evangelical
Clinton aide Jennifer Palmieri said wealthy people find conservatism more acceptable from Catholics than from Evangelicals, according to hacked emails released by WikiLeaks.
Palmieri was responding to an email from Center for American Progress fellow John Halpin, in which Halpin noted several prominent conservatives were catholic and accused them of “an amazing bastardization of the [Catholic] faith.”
Halpin continued: "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.”
Palmieri responded: “I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion,” Palmieri responded. “Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.”
Palmieri and Halpin were discussing over email a New Yorker article by Ken Auletta on News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch and Robert Thompson, who was then the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal and is now the Chief Executive of News Corp. The article mentions how Murdoch and Thompson are raising their children Catholic.
