Firstly, we have always been divided and against each other. Rich vs poor, white vs black, rural vs urban, native vs settlers, native born vs immigrants, states vs federal government, etc. What is the NYTimes going to do next? Blame russia for the civil war?
Secondly, the media, including the NYTimes,

did far more to divide the country and turn everyone against each other than russians. The nytimes and their fellow media cohorts incessant agenda-pushing via their socio-political propaganda war has soured the nation.
Thirdly, what disturbs me is the coordinated propaganda campaign waged by almost all the media ( nytimes, wapo, bloomberg, cnbc, etc ) all pushing the same message. It almost seems like they are just different mouthpieces of the same propaganda organ.
Fourthly, it's exhausting and quite frankly ineffective to spam "russia is behind everything" everyday. It just makes the nytimes and the rest of the media look like propagandists rather than actual news organizations.
But that's just me. My faith in news organizations is forever lost anyways. Once you peek behind the veil, there is no going back.
