In the days and weeks to come there are going to be some resignations, some firings, and some tearing down of some long careers. This is apparently one of the dirtiest closets in a government full of them. the media's jb is to get a mop and a bucket and go in there.
Serious media outlets already have researchers on every single email with racist or misogynistic or hateful content, and over the next little while, phones are going to start to ring with questions from reporters like, "Is this Jon Smith? Are you the same Jon Smith whose name is on the recipient list of this email dated x/x/xx? Are you the same John Smith whose name is shown as the person who forwarded this email to others on x/x/xx?"
When PennLive and the Inky turn out not to have employed such researchers and not to have interested themselves in whether judges and DAs and top cops got involved in all this stuff, we will know they are just pretending to be serious media outlets. As much as Fina and Seth, this nest little bit is going to be a test of the news outlets.
