Leaked Emails: Politico’s Ken Vogel Filed Story with DNC Before His Own Editors

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:
A release of Democratic National Committee emails from WikiLeaks shows Politico reporter Ken Vogel sent a pre-publication negative copy of a story April 30 to the DNC’s deputy communications director, so he and other staffers at the DNC along with Hillary Clinton campaign could coordinate a response.

“Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn’t share it. Let me know if you see anything that’s missing and I’ll push back,” wrote Mark Paustenbach in an email to his boss, Luis Miranda, who before taking over communications for the DNC worked for President Barak Obama’s White House outreach to Latinos, as well as other campaigns, including the Democratic 2000 recount operation in Florida.

The subject line of Vogel’s email: “per agreement … any thoughts appreciated.”
Now is there any doubt of Prof. Glenn Reynold description of the members of the press as "Democratic Operatives with Bylines"?
