        I get why the Russia angle gets so much attention, but it is but a mosquito buzzing over big fault lines in US politics and public sphere.pic.twitter.com/W9FM8GdU9R

        Depends—if you mean hacking infrastructure. GA voting machines are Windows 2000 (ancient!) with no verified trail...https://twitter.com/UltraCougar/status/912391782620631041 …

        Valid point about the existing platform & ppl's gullibility. But if this part of Russian attack was amateur, the election hacking was not.

        Also, FWIW, that Slate headline is not mine, and not my point. 🙄Russia is bit of a distraction, as I make clear in the interview.

        Headlines—optimized for clickbait, sensationalism and yep, social media virality—are part of what ails the networked public sphere. <sigh>

        The Russians also used pencils instead of million dollar pens in space because it was cheaper and worked. Maybe amateur but it was effective

        Trump’s supporters are not super sophisticated either, so it was good enough.

        Then our problems are way bigger than fake news. In fact it may be a sad sign that its time to give up on democracy.
