Online Public Relations Thoughts

Unlike 2016 when the media mishandled leaks about Hillary Clinton's campaign, the present leak of confidential data from the Trump campaign is not being published. The claim is that a foreign power, possibly Iran, was behind the hacked information.  This time, however, the media are circumspect about revealing inside secrets.  Have they gone too far in protecting the candidate?  Some observers think so.  The data is a PR bomb that might explode at any minute should an editor change his mind.  It's an uncomfortable position for Trump to be in.
