RE: Catching a hacker... how much does media play upon public ignorance?
Oh I thought I should say... I am only disputing the HACKING charges...
I do not dispute Russia trying to help Trump win. I have no doubt they may have used propaganda/news to do that. I am disputing the hacking claim, because it is highly improbable.
I am sure they tried to use propaganda and speeches to sway interest.
Yet, this is normal and has happened throughout history. It is nothing new.
We do it in every other countries elections. In some cases we are even worse.
Yet those LEAKS were TRUE information. That was not disputed. They were proof of corruption and collusion.
I don't care who it came from if it is true.
But the hack absolutely did happen. We even know that it was because Podesta fell for a phishing scam... even when Assange claims it was an insider that wopuld essentially be a "Spock lie" since Podesta was an insider but did not do it purposefully, and instead fell for a common hacking technique.
Except, not nearly as much as people think t hey were. Take the "stealing the election from Bernie" part. Literally all the email said was that they preferred Hillary, nothing whatsoever was shown in terms of them actually doing anything about it.
This is literally taking a thousand documents, throwing them at the public and claiming whatever they want about the contents knowing most people won't even look at all the documents while the die hard GOP supporters will read anything into them they want.
Wow. You REALLY should go back and read those from the time they were released. If you cannot SEE the collusion and that it was talking about actions, then I may be wasting my time discussing these things with you.
I read quite a few of those emails and was very surprised. They indeed DID speak of actions to take, and steps to take.
It wasn't simply "we don't like Bernie".
That definitely was not what got all of the Bernie supporters pissed off. I think that people knew that the established DNC preferred Hillary without needing any leaked information. That was pretty obvious.
