I find the double standards of the MSM on this issue quite amusing:
MSM: "Scandal! Donald Trump has shared super insanely top-secret highly confidential information with a russian! Sure, he had any right to do so, but still: That information is top-secret for a reason, man! Someone in the white house was so truly upset about this, about leaking confidential information, that he immediately leaked the very same information to us, the MSM! And we perfectly agree, that is an absolute no-go! Just imagine what could happen if the wrong guys got to know that highly confidential information! You can't just share super-duper-highly-confidential information with someone! Our outrage about this is so honest that now we ourselfes are going to share the very same highly confidential information with everyone, of course including each and every terrorist in the world! It is:
The terrorists could be considering placing bombs in Laptops in order to carry out terrorist acts on civil flights.
Wow, how secret and confidential is that, eh? Sure, even a toddler could have assumed this from the simple fact that the US just recently forbid using Laptops on civil flights, but still... And that's not the only problem! Somehow, that information could allow the russians inferences about who that information originally came from, and that could be a huuuuge problem, right? Well, we can neither tell how the russians could conclude that, nor, why that would be a such a major problem, but still: It would be a complete disaster if a russian could draw certain conclusions about the origin of that information! Oh, by the way: It was Israel. But if we simply tell the source of the information to everyone, it's something completely different, of course. That's how honest our outrage about this is.
In the future, Israel might no longer share such information with us! Well, they already said that is not going to harm the US-Israel relationship - but of course, we, the MSM, know better, as usual. And should Israel indeed be more cautius about giving confidential information to the US in the future, then it is of course because the POTUS shared that information with a single person, and not because someone in the white house leaked it to the MSM, who immediately leaked the same information to everyone in the world."
