No confirmation from the NSA, only "leaks" from anonymous "multiple people with knowledge of the matter."
How do we know it's not another piece of fake news riding the wave of "Russia did it"?
- mozumder 9y agoBecause you trust journalists to do their job in verifying sources, which maintains their credibility. I want you to think your cunning plan through. What do you think would happen if journalists actually lied?
- pdx 9y agoYou have GOT to be fucking kidding. Have you actually been asleep for the last 6 years?
- mozumder 9y agoWere you under the impression that credible journalists are in the business of "fake news"? I want you to think about what would happen if that were actually the case.
- beepboopbeep 9y agoYou're the only one in this thread that's incredulous about a major publication posting a researched article. Clearly we are all out to get you.
- daxorid 9y agopdx is certainly not the only one. Many of us who consider the entirety of Western Media to be a wholly controlled narrative fabrication oligopoly simply keep our mouths shut about it.
- mozumder 9y agoAs they should, since they won't be able to back up their claims with facts.

- beepboopbeep 9y agoWelp! Ya solved it! Good job! We can all go home now everyone. This guy solved it. Rest assured, that this story was not thoroughly researched and is indeed fake news. Go on now, nothing to see here.
- pdx 9y agoI agree with you. There is nothing to see here.
- Synaesthesia 9y agoI agree that there is a lot of Russia blaming and such but this article is pretty credible. Only of course US newspapers aren’t gonna be writing about the hacks that they succeed in.
- mhneu 9y agoBy fake news you mean the stuff that Russia created in the US, and Sputnik and RT and Breitbart and Fox, right? That's the true fake news. For the reason why people are trying to redefine the term "fake news" into being stuff in real outlets with real journalists like WSJ (this article), read this great piece from Masha Gessen: http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2017/05/13/the-autocrats-language/ http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2017/05/13/the-autocrats-langua...
