@NolteNC Pretty sure that if folks in MSM were treated the way they treat others, they'd find it appalling.

A criminal investigation has been launched after a hacker, who goes by the name “Guccifer,” breached email accounts belonging to friends and family of former presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush.
The Secret Service tells ABC News it is investigating the apparent hacking of the email accounts of Bush 41 and 43. Incredible breach

The Smoking Gun published the hacked emails and photos, as well as paintings reportedly done by Bush 43.
The media and the Left (sorry, redundant) just can’t get enough of this invasion of privacy, natch.
Can someone point me to any example of the Left being outraged that someone hacked Bush family emails? Thanks. #tcot #p2

@RBPundit They're busy crowdsourcing the project to index them. #Palin

The real news isn’t the criminal breach of email accounts, but the content of those private emails.
That information fungibility lets anyone motivated be able to find it doesn’t mean covering the story has to reveal every photo etc.

Ethics, schmethics, right lapdog media?
BuzzFeed snickered, “Revealing pics show off the self-portraits of amateur painter and avid bather George W. Bush.”
George W. Bush, artist? http://t.co/EkDs9NAO

It'd be so WRONG for anyone to hack Ben Smith and Ken Vogel's email. Do you hear me… WRONG. Do not do this cuz WRONG.

Man, it would be awful if someone hacked email acounts at BuzzFeed and Politico. Please don't even think about doing something so WRONG.

Editor’s note: Since the media ensured that these private emails have already been circulated far and wide, Twitchy opted to include many media tweets that include links to the hacked emails in this post.
