[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Leaking TRUE information is not the same as "manipulating" an election. If it was, then every media outlet, including (gasp!) foreign media outlets, would be guilty of "manipulating" the election results. Now if Russia hacked the voting machines and actually changed the vote count, that would be a totally different story. Releasing true information is the way our society works. If our domestic media sources are totally biased and will only break negative stories about one candidate, then that's a problem that I'm happy to have an external entity fix. Bravo to them for doing so. [/quote]

it is manipulation when you only leak information about one party in the election.

So CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, et al. are also guilty then? What if one of those media outlets is foreign-owned? Does that also justify clutching one's pearls?[/quote]

Allegations of hacking by Russia is now pearl clutching.  Wow.[/quote]

We enter an era where no fact matters, blatant bigotry and plutocracy are celebrated as Making America Great Again, and reckless, irresponsible, and corrupt behavior from Trump and his cronies in the States and abroad, no matter how dangerous to our democracy, national security, and civil society, is normalized.

Perfectly a-ok for Trump to urge the Russians to hack into our systems and no big deal that Trump and his associates not only invited the hacks but then suppressed investigations for political gain. Just like no big deal that his kids sit in official meetings with policy makers and foreign business and leaders. Nothing tonsee here![/quote]
