This was often overlooked by the mainstream media, which instead chose to focus on the e-mails being leaked, instead of what was in them.
It wasn’t just “overlooked” - there was a clear effort to make reading or even acknowledging the validity of the Wikileaks emails taboo. When they were talked about, they were dismissed as Russian propaganda and it was often implied that the contents were probably fake.
