How the media are covering Trump campaign hack
Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post were leaked confidential information from inside the Donald Trump campaign, including a report vetting JD Vance as a vice presidential candidate. However, unlike when Hillary Clinton's emails were leaked in 2016, news outlets have chosen not to report on what was leaked. Instead, they've opted to cover the potential hack and write about what was leaked in broad terms.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik joins us to discuss.
