I've seen articles in the past few days about the email leaks on the washington post, and looking on CNN right now I see an article on the Podesta emails on the politics page. I've seen a lot of talk about hacking and emails this election. I would say the media is talking more about Trump's sexual assault accusers right now because either: a) The emails haven't been verified (as far as I know) b) There's nothing in them as scandalous as a sex scandal (as far as I can tell) c) Trump keeps saying scandalous things, which draws attention to himself.

A lot of the problems with the media, as far as I can tell, stem from the fact that no one is paying for it anymore. This leads the media to going for attention grabbing headlines, which means a sex scandal will always win out over any allegations of corruption.
