Three questions......WHY did you use this site as a link instead of mainstream ? And once you read that it is basically old news, why still post it ? And why not use the new Political forum ?
That forum was set up so that folks who do not want to read political trolling did not have to ?
why you did not use.
From your link......"Many of the same emails Bush released today may have already been available online as of December, 2014, thanks to a request made by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting. Some publications, including The Washington Post and The Hill, combed the email records for policy insight, but did not appear to stumble upon sensitive personal information."

So now at least you acknowledge that there are SSN's released in the emails whereas before you seemingly accused me of making it up if CNN etc had not mentioned it. I will answer your questions although they seem to be a personal attack rather than a response to the error made in the release. By the way Jeb was not legally responsible for the redaction as he is no longer the governor. It was a member of the present Florida government who failed to do the proper redaction. Nowhere in any statement I posted did I blame Jeb. His staff is now trying to undo the error much to his credit once he found out what had happened.
1. I used the site The Verge as it was the one used by the website where I found the story. It seems to be a straightforward report of the facts. I didn't know I should limit my links to pre-approved ones. You are free to discredit this site based on what biases you find either in their reporting of this story or their overall content. That would be fair and even welcome as I share your apparent belief that the particular website where information is found may be pertinent as to whether the information is presented accurately.
2. It is not old news to me nor apparently was it to you. The quote you provided seems to indicate that these email were released "today" and that it included more than had been available in the past as evidenced by the phrase "many of" rather than all of. It was Jeb who made it not old news. I don't believe the prior content of these emails was ever highlighted on the internet until today. He today was proud of this release which he apparently felt was not old news as he tweeted
from USA Today, if that site is ok

When I was governor, I often used email to correspond. I hope you find these notes as interesting as I did: Jeb Bush Emails

In a conference call Monday with alumni of his Florida administration, Bush said he believes he has a story to be told about his tenure as governor and that he hopes the e-mails will show that he “stayed true to conservative perspective.”

3. If you feel that informing Floridians that their SSN's and other private data might have been leaked only should be in the political forum then I guess the next hack of Home Depot or Target or any other leak of private information will have to be placed there also.
