Summary: 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 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.

Opinion: I am all for an institution to be tapping phones and intercepting emails because they could detect a suspicious activity by terrorists and stop the terror they're planning early. However some people prefer their privacy but I say if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be scared or complaining.
