I do not remember Sorkin, man behind the West Wing and other propaganda for Leftists, writing anything similar for Assange and Snowden. Now Sorkin is crying foul for the media publishing the hacked information because it makes the industry he works in look bad? Is Sorkin so self-centered he is unaware what a hypocrite this piece makes him look?

the press shouldn't help the SONY hackers

Of course they should. There's a whole branch of media supposedly "getting the dirt" on everyone and everything.

How about this.

Assume every email or text you send could become public one day and communicate accordingly. Simple.

Most professionals know this. Anyone near a lawsuit knows this. Apparently, this crowd is more concerned about being hip and joking around in emails that they never considered they would become public. Wrong assumption. Unfortunately, could become a career ruining assumption.

With respect to the business records; obviously Sony’s IT Dept. didn’t have a strong enough firewall / company protocols in place. Business record disclosures are truly egregious. Not much sympathy for dumb emails, however.

While no one should disseminate this information, just a touch of hypocrisy from this group that lives in gossip (see, TMZ’s success, for example).

I recall Sorkin being equally exercised when that slimeball hacked Palin’s emails several years ago...oh, wait...

Suppose someone hacked into the EIB Network emails and published all of Rush Limbaugh’s messages.

What would the NY Times say?
