Wow. Reuters admits one of their journalists discovered Beto had been part of a well-known hacker group and they interviewed him about it in 2017, but agreed to withhold the information until after his Senate race in 2018:


unreal

Hasn't literally one of the main dem talking points since 2016 been that hacking is bad and a threat to democracy?

Wow

The only surprising thing there is that it still surprises me occasionally when the nexus between the Left and the MSM is exposed

None of this dumb shite is going to persuade a single voter to not vote for who they want

Trump actually said it best about shooting people on 5th Avenue

Literally zero chance this occurs if Cruz had been the hacker

This is not the point of my OP.

This is crooked journalism. Sitting on shite until after elections? Give me a break.

There's basically no such thing as journalism in America anymore.

Fortunately, Cruz is just the Zodiac killer.

Not a legit attack.

Only strict fascist authoritarians (obama and bush admins) hate hackers. Hacking is an inevitability our nation needs to address, and its good that our government has a threat from the people to look out for.

Betos a fig in so many other ways. Attack him there

Cruz was bitching about this on twitter today he has nobody to blame but his oppo team. Just like the GOP dropped the ball on Va governor and AG.

True, but we already knew that. And presidential elections are proving to be immune to it. Nothing questionable in Betos past will remain private if he wins the nomination.

Sounds like a biased/shitty journalist to agree to that.

Are you under the impression that journalists don't do shite like that?

To be fair, Republicans have to hire an oppo team...……...Democrats have a team of thousands in the MSM doing their oppo for free!

There is a 100% chance that story breaks if the hacker was Cruz

You know it but you just can't help yourself

Non Sequitur bro... There certainly is a double standard. If this was Cruz no way it’s witheld. If it wasn’t such a big deal then how come Beto wanted it killed.
