You'd think being here on "Hacker News", you'd know that the term "hack" has a variety of usages and meanings. In the case of Americans calling the 2016 Russian propaganda a "hack", it isn't a literal computer hack, it's leveraging Facebook to brainwash the populace into believing an alternate reality in which Clinton is running an underground pedo ring or whatever nonsense conservatives will buy into these days. You know...Obama is coming to take your guns and put you in FEMA camps. It's a hack because it achieves the goal indirectly. Additionally, you're glossing over the literal computer hacking of Clinton's emails and the DNC.
