Wikileaks has become a weapon of information warfare. What part of the cache was doctored? What was left out? The big publications know that and won't be provoked. This is an admirable move by Russians: they steer the campaign as well as rob Wikileaks of any merit it has for the society.

This is a very good point.

However, I don't think it applies in this case, since for this to be true, it would imply that had this been Trump's campaign manager's email account that was hacked with similar Trump-related campaign revelations contained in it, the mainstream media would refuse to report it for the same reason.

And I don't believe that for a tenth of a second.
