Right now campaign operatives are talking to reporters about what is really happening. They’re mostly telling the truth, and some reporters will know it, even as they continue to file other stories as if they don’t. It’s all a very strange business imo.
Post election there are always all these big reports and books on these details. They’re telling them right now “oh we know we lost” or “yeah we know we won” but the agreements are that this won’t be reported until after it’s done. Happens every cycle.
I don’t know if it’s unethical, unlike many other reporter practices I have big issues with. I just think it’s weird how they embargo these things like Hollywood or video game reporters but for important things.
Newsweek used to produce a book with this stuff, I read the one on 2004. Washington Post does books of these too.
