Oh, so we are now going to put qualifications on exactly who can disseminate information?Now you apply some critical thought. There are thousands of agencies in this country and around the world that release information designed to influence how people vote.That is the ONLY way Russia could have altered the election. Providing information to the public cannot.
Not true at all. Apply some critical thought.
The selective daily release of information timed in such a way as to step on Clinton events and announcements certainly has an effect. The constant drip of emails reinforced a negative perception of Clinton just as the daily hammering by Trump of the latest leaks did.
The main stream media in this country alone has admitted to influencing voters simply by picking and choosing the information they see fit to shape and promote a specific narrative. You can see by their meltdown that they were influencing information to ensure that their candidate won the election. Going so far as to time and release information to make it appear that Clinton was a lock for winning.
Now, information has come to light about the Clinton's, the media was busy trying to shape how voters thought about the election, so wikileaks ran with information they would not.
I don't see anyone on the left complaining about the media influencing the vote. I didn't see you complain about the New York Times releasing Trumps taxes, even though the information was gained under questionable means.
Sorry, but all of this just highlights why Clinton is a flawed human being (as noted by the campaign discussions) and also brings to light their indifference to security, a trait I would not want anywhere near the White House.
Sorry, but this is just sour grapes.
Unless you want to talk about what measures should be taken by political parties to ensure that they take their IT security seriously.
The media isn't a foreign entity who targeted a candidate and their party, obtained information through theft with the intention of using it against them during the campaign.
Certainly you can see the difference.
You do understand that this was an act of international espionage and not simply a reporter running down a lead?
Really, you see no difference?
Espionage publicly encouraged by the, soon the be, president. Well, at least he is Putin Approved...
