The Election Was Not Hacked

Jon Gabriel, Ed.
December 29, 2016


Between jeremiads decrying “fake news,” the mainstream media has created and advanced the biggest fake news story of 2016: That the presidential election was hacked.

    “Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking” New York Times
    “Obama administration unveils retribution for Russia over election hacking allegations” CNBC
    “U.S. Slaps Sanctions On Russia For Election Hacking, Expels 35 Diplomats” CBS
    “Obama sanctions Russian officials over election hacking” USA Today
    “U.S. Sanctions Russia Over Election Hacking; Russia Threatens to Retaliate” Wall Street Journal

Nobody suggested that Russia was successful in whatever they were doing.

The DNC was hacked, not the election.

Am I the only one still waiting for specifics of the claimed "election hack?"

If it is Podesta's emails and nothing more, the dems and the media seem hell bent to play it forever, and forever.

I guess they reached expiration on "Bush's fault," and needed a new meme.

Something tells me the Trump administration will not play by traditional rules, and paradigms.

Until there's proof someone (Russians or anyone else) hacked the computer systems controlling voting machines, thereby affecting the actual vote totals, I'd say the election was not hacked in any way, shape or form. But that's just me.

Obama-Hillary-democrats these days are pretty much "junior varsity."

The agenda is not unlike Bush in 2000, selected not elected.

I predict Trump will dominate the scene, via media and policies.

You're not the only one.  And, all the talking heads just go on blathering without ever seeming to realize that there's a big piece of story missing.  The "who, what and where" part.

I remember from my only Journalism class,  "who, when, what, where" and maybe why....

Now it is often hard to find very much of that, making "fake news" easy.

None of the leftists claiming the election was hacked seem to realize that voting machines are not networked specifically so they can't be modified remotely.

The Election Was Not Hacked

@mystery-ak

This is true.  Besides Podesta emails, I think there was a hack concerning the Democrat National headquarters, but neither of these had to do with the voting process and election returns.  I do think those hacked emails hurt Clinton's numbers as they rolled out every day.  Then, the FBI saying they were investigating her, took away more votes.  However, I think she lost because many  blacks and Hispanics did not vote for a woman.  I think Obama would have been reelected if he could have run because those two sectors of voters would have voted for him as well as the usual white liberals.

... I think she lost because many  blacks and Hispanics did not vote for a THAT woman. 

 

Fixed it.

I don't think so.  I think the strength of both the Bernie and DJT support says a whole lot of people are sick of 0bamaworld, even if they think he's a nice guy.
