Most of the big media companies get hot and bothered whenever they grab hold of a news story or happening that looks like it might hurt President Trump.

On the flip side, they do their best to ignore anything that could hurt the Democrats, the party that broke their hearts during the last election.

Over the past few columns, I’ve mentioned areas where I think the press has fallen down on the job. In my humble effort to keep people — investors or not — informed, here’s another media failing: the alleged hacking of the Democratic National Committee computers.

You should read a story in the Aug. 9 issue of The Nation magazine entitled, “A New Report Raises Big Questions About Last Year’s DNC Hack.”

The first thing you need to know is that The Nation is a liberal/progressive publication. So if there is any bias there it’s in favor of the Democrats.

The magazine’s conclusion: there wasn’t a computer “hack” at all.

Hard evidence, it says, shows that the DNC e-mails — including those of Hillary Clinton adviser John Podesta — were leaked by someone inside the party.

That would change everything, of course, especially since numerous other investigations concluded that the Russians did it.

The Nation’s story, if true, wouldn’t get the Russians completely off the hook. As I’ve been saying from the beginning, Russia stole Hillary’s personal e-mails.

But that wasn’t even a “hack” in the true sense of the word. The Russians simply stole Hillary’s password. And since those e-mails were never made public they couldn’t have had any impact on the election.

So who could have leaked the DNC e-mails?
