(I can't reply to untog since it is too deep in the thread but this in reply to their comment)
When you are professedly a journalist, you are to report the facts unbiased, not get friendly and in bed with campaign insiders, running your pieces by them to get their opinion. There are many more heinous emails than the ones linked by parent, specifically some that are exchanges making sure the narrative that was going to be published "sounded good" to the Hillary camp.
That's not journalism. It's propaganda.
My own observation: the fact that we have to get apologetic about this behavior further proves the point.
