Jake Tapper gives a quick lesson in media ethics

Media organizations that feed rival Reporter B answers to questions from unfriendly Reporter A are acting like political campaigns. Unseemly

None of us think it's ethical when campaigns do that — cut it out. Unacceptable.

I agree that NYT needs to start responding to Free Beacon’s questions instead of running to Politico to answer them. https://t.co/We1Pg3DNA5

Legacy media's behavior towards WFB reminds me of 80s college comedy: Stodgy blue bloods shocked by vulgar upstarts. https://t.co/TVvaTrbtlr

@Rose_Marie_Holt @jaketapper ABC and NYT have leaked stories to @politico because @FreeBeacon was asking ABC/NYT tough questions.

@Holden114 @jaketapper in the case of @DylanByers his job description should read "reporter b for the @nytimes".

@jaketapper Also doesn't look good that news organization of Rival reporter B gladly runs with it

Sounds to me like he’s talking about @politico and @FreeBeacon https://t.co/QG6EnlWwhn
