If the article contains the truth and is about some serious misconduct, wouldn't influencing the election be a good thing? This is the very role of journalism. It's important that the public makes a decision based on all the facts.

I can totally see his point with journalistic bias and the money strings. The ideal of independent press has long been dropped, and now we have news agencies of every political denomination. Sometimes it feels like objectivity isn't even a goal anymore.

I'm not a Trump supporter in any way. Still, I do want the truth to be known even if it's about a person I support.

If. But if the article contains some outright falsehoods about serious misconduct, and it still influences the election, is that a good thing?

Mind you, I'm not clearly on the "don't publish" side. But that position is not clearly wrong.
