    Senate Intel report found "no evidence that vote tallies were altered or that voter registry files were deleted or modified" yet the big headline was that Russia "hacked all 50 states" -- weirdpic.twitter.com/vypfXHDSPy

        Some headlines used the phrasing that Russia "targeted" all 50 states. Of course "targeting" is an amorphous weasel word. Some of this "targeting" included simple, routine "scanning" of public-facing websites, which states only noticed after the Feds issued a panicked warningpic.twitter.com/srCpCZSI8U

        NYT and others blared the headline, "All 50 states were targeted by Russia in 2016," but this state says "they have seen no evidence of scanning or attack attempts related to state-wide election infrastructure in 2016." Did anyone even bother to read the report?pic.twitter.com/ViATryNoWd

        The "targeting" that we're all supposed to be up-in-arms about consisted of "pinging" public websites, which happens constantly all day everyday. That's why local officials barely took note of it. Only after the "Russian interference" narrative was introduced did anyone carepic.twitter.com/YzB1cAGuop

        In one instance, a malware "attack" initially assumed to be the Russian government was later assessed to be non-Russian criminal activity. This stuff, like so much else with the broader Russia narrative, is confirmation bias run amokpic.twitter.com/4GDubFXgLT

        They need to pump up the threat level, since it was on life support after mueller failed to make anything happen... So they are claiming wild things to get everyone to think they should fear Russia, because fear is a great way to crush hope, and make the bold, become timid...

        In a educated nation, we'd see that as deliberate methods of mass manipulation and demand independent press.

        Hacked means attempted to steal but it does not necessarily mean they got anything.

        Isn't it natural the level of cyber related nefarious foreign activity would be unprecedented? 10 -20 years ago, there was just very little "cyber"activity, period.

        The NYT and the rest aren't comfortable at all with such facts. Just like the MSNBC!

        The big headlines are at the behest of corporate owned media outlets. They all need to offer readers sensational lead-ins to sell copies, garner clicks.
