People are discussing (everyone but accord1999 that I've noticed anyways) that Trump is far more in the wrong here. But the media in an effort to be the first to report divulged more than necessary. No one is exonerating or ignoring what the president did
The press leaked that it was Israel, and that it was related to the laptop bomb threat. Neither of those details were necessary for the story (arguably I'll admit). You can make the argument they didn't divulge too much and I'll listen to that, but to suggest they have no moral obligation when reporting declassified information is not reasonable IMO.
