Is Wikileaks the new "Nixon Watergate", breaking into the Democratic National Committee building? (Using computers now.)

It occurred to me this was illegal, according to history. They were called the plumbers. The burglars broke into a building to get information about the Democratic election campaign, trying to elect Richard Nixon.

Now this has happened--Wikileaks hacking DNC files befor a presidential election again, and the news media is printing the information Wikileaks has confiscated illegally. What is the difference? Cyber theft. Both are crimes.

My problem in thinking about this is, why do the American people allow this? Why do we give Wikileaks a platform, as if they are a legitimate news agency? They break every law, while the established media has to follow.

I think someone needs to call attention to this.
