WikiLeaks: Neutral reporter or political player?




WikiLeaks and the controversial Clinton files 

WikiLeaks has made public thousands of leaked emails from the Clinton presidential campaign. Much of it confirms what many already suspected: that Clinton has a far too cozy relationship with bankers and journalists.
Some say the revelations are valuable information for voters. Others have accused Russia of being behind the hack and argue WikiLeaks is aiding foreign interference in the elections. Putting aside the agendas of all the players involved, one institution comes out undeniably sullied by the publication of the emails: the American news media.
Talking us through the story: Zack Beauchamp, world correspondent, Vox.com; Alex Griswold, media correspondent, Mediaite and Ben Norton, politics reporter, Salon.
