What’s good for the goose is good for the gander Etymology. 1670s, figuratively using goose/gander for women and men
This is meaning that the same sauce applies equally well to a cooked goose, regardless of sex. Early forms include “as deep drinketh the goose as the gander” (1562) and similar “As well for the color calfe as for the bull” (1549).
Atm few news outlets leaked confidential information from inside the Trump presidential campaign, and have so far refused to publish it amid suspicion of a hack.
The idiom "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" is an American English expression that means something that is good for one person or situation should also be good for all others. It's often used in the context of gender and equality because a goose is female and a gander is male.
The decision to publish hacked material or not is debated within the field of journalism ethics. During the 2016 campaign,
Hillary Clinton's hacked emails were published by Wikileaks and covered by mainstream news organizations, Dave Bauder writes for The Associated Press.
