"Fake News": The Washington Post Rewrote Story On Russian Hacking Of VT Power Grid

This was a highly suspicious story right from the beginning, for a variety of reasons, and now it comes out that the big, hooptie, "Russians are coming! Russians are coming!" panic over hacking a power utility in Vermont is, uh, "fake news"....

Thanks a LOT, Washington Post....

From the Post story (my emphasis): "Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid."

OK, hyperlibs... what kind of specious, , undocumented, untruthful nonsense are you and your sympathetic "news professionals" going to try to frighten everybody with next...?

."...and I like to shoot children and cripples, too!"

 

Nobody but hardcore leftists and old people watch, read, or believe the news anymore.

It seems to me that the hardcore "peaceful" lefties are trying their best to start a war with Russia.

 

A war indeed. Obama wasn't this outraged over the 400,000 Syrians he allowed to be slaughtered by his JV team ISIS.

This is how incredibly stupid Obama is....

You got that right.

 

Does one need more proof that the left hates America and Americans?

 

Aren't there ANY hyperlib, radical Democrat Russia-haters who have ANYTHING to say about this out-and-out, dirty, damned LIE spread for the express purpose of further wrecking the relationship between the forthcoming Trump Administration and the Russian Federation?

The mainstream "news" media propaganda organs are always so LOUD and SHRILL when they think they've got "dirt" on anyone they perceive is hostile to them and their agenda... but do they have absolutely NOTHING to say now?! And the Left sits on their self-righteous cloud of deceit, manipulation, and self-delusion and wonders why so many of us on the Right have come to think of them as nothing but the worst kind of frauds and liars.

."If I'm lucky, my media can have us in a war with Russia just as I'm leaving!"

 

Remember when the Chinese hacked us...

And Obama did nothing?

What's changed? Suddenly were serious about cyber security, I guess.

 

There is precious little in the Post or NYT that I believe. Sports, weather and obituary I suppose, but not much else.

 

the billionaire amazon founder jeff bezos owns washington post, their news is centered on how to make him and people like him richer.

russia is upsetting their profits with its military in the middle east and eastern europe.

 

Whichever liberal hack coined the term "fake news" you know has to be regretting it now. It's being used to describe their own so called news media more than anything conservatives are putting out there.

/.

 

It is more interesting from who were all the BS fake news coming at least who had for 150% sure influence for the election ... and so being the real hacker!

 

There is a difference between "fake news" and getting it wrong.

 

Just as there is a difference between a reputable news source and the Washington Post.

 

When a paper consistantly gets it wrong while actively campaigning against a presidential candidate, then after failing in that keeps getting it wrong trying to delegitimize the democratically elected president of the United States... It is fake news.

 

The hyperliberal "news" media scream it from the rooftops when they come across anything that makes the radical, "progressive" Democrat Machine look bad in the pursuit of its agenda. So why, now that this stupidly indefensible "Russian hacking" story about a utility provider in Vermont is shown to be pure bull (*)(*)(*)(*) do the same hyperliberal propaganda spinners say NOTHING?! The stench of the hypocrisy is what absolutely infuriates so many of us. The hyperlibs think we're all a bunch of mindless sheep, and believe me, they couldn't be more WRONG.

Why? Because "mindless sheep" support (NOT Conservatives):

1. A fraud like Obamacare.
2. A dangerous malfeasance like overthrowing the legitimate, anti-terrorist government in Libya
3. A botched, very dangerous malfeasance like drawing "red lines" in Syria
4. Unconstitutionally conducted "recess appointments"
5. Breaking the law by trading Taliban field commanders in Gitmo for an Army deserter
6. Lying about getting the U. S. OUT of Iraq
7. Lying about getting the U. S. OUT of Afghanistan
8. Mounting a big "hacking" ploy against Russia WITHOUT ANY PROOF, for revelations that really came out of Wikileaks

I could go on and on but my fingers are cramping. It's a wearisome thing to try to catalog all the lies, deceit, manipulation, and hypocrisy of radical Democrats. But in just 18 more days, we'll know that it was worth all the effort!

. "Oh, crap! I just hacked Vermont! I'll tell Mommy that the Russians did it!"

 

OP talks about "fake news." A new moniker for news that right-wingers don't agree with.

OP quotes RT.

How ironic.

 

So, you believe that this FAKE "Russian hack" news story about the utility in Vermont, launched by the dirty, hyperlib "news" media, is true? I just provided links to evidence that it is NOT. Do you have to be a member of the various Left OR Right wing factions to understand what dirty, manipulative bull(*)(*)(*)(*) propaganda is, and to detest it?!

. The only things that scheming, radical hyperliberals "pass" are the equivalent of BOWEL MOVEMENTS....

 

It seems the media has been getting it "wrong" quite a lot lately. A just as likely scenario is this is just more DNC disinformation spread by their lapdogs in the media. This wouldn't be the first time.

 

Absolutely, why should anyone? No more need for all that messy checking of sources and, worst of all, that difficult THOUGHT that confuses us and makes our heads hurt so. We have the tweets right from the God-Emperor himself, TRUTH, right on our smart phones, isn't life wonderful

 

Totally not surprised by this. In fact, I suspected as soon as I heard the story. The first clue was the source.

 

I assume you are referring to wapo writers?

 

Most likely by sheer dumb luck, Obama never drew a redline with the Chinese, so they never had to (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)slap him like Putin did. This whole Russia is evil thing, is all about how Putin manhandled Obama like a ragdoll. Putin took Crimea, Obama whined. Putin told Obama that regime change in Syria wasn't going to happen, and it hasn't, Obama's terrorists used chemical weapons in Syria and Obama drew a redline, Putin crossed that line and slapped Obama in the face. That is why there is an evil Russian boogey man lurking on the scary internet hacking democrats and exposing their massive amounts of corruption...

 

Lefties are the most violent people on the planet.
