You know, the hack on the DNC concerns me less than the false news narrative that they have seemed to be rather successful in spreading. Now? Not only does the nation NOT trust the media any longer, they are willing to believe Facebook posts from their friends as gospel.
And being able to sway the mood of the country is a very dangerous thing if you know how to do it properly, and apparently, Russia figured it out.
It is nonsense like this that really annoys me; it is an insult to the intelligence of every american that they can be swayed by "fake news," TV ads, editorials in news media, etc.
Whether it is the huge amount of advertising/TV money Jeb Bush spent that couldn't get him through the primaries, the scumbag NYT daily editorial / hack jobs against Trump, or the alleged "russian hacking/fake news" or whatever other BS the dems/liberals claim, it is all crap. The american public is not so easily swayed, and this is one of the (few, IMO) benefits of a 2 year presidential election cycle - the public gets to really take their time in formulating an opinion on who they will support.
Hillary lost because she was corrupt and untrustworthy; using a private email server to send classified info, raising hundreds of millions of dollars from despots and god-knows who else through a charitable front, millions more from Wall St banks, etc., all of these items were not "fake news", or "russian hacks", they were legitimate events that in totality contributed to a sense she could not be trusted.
While much of the MSM news media in the US is leftist trash, there are enough variations in voices and sources to give a full picture for those willing to put in the time and sort things out. Americans are not sheep to be led by the nose, and the entire "russian culpability" claims are sophistic, deflective crap to try and soothe the rage of the liberal base over an election loss, rather than a true self-analysis to better understand why they lost, what was wrong with their message, and messenger.
Well you voted for Trump didn't you--LOL Ask yourself why? Could it have been 8 investigations into Benghazi that may have persuaded you?

How about emails?
The shocking truth: Colin Powell’s emails don’t matter
Rice Aides, Powell Also Got Classified Info on Personal Email Accounts
The media can be very powerful in this country. But the youth of this country spend most of their time on social media outlets. Facebook. Russia put tons of FAKE news on Facebook about Hillary Clinton, and one came very close to becoming deadly to a lot of innocent people in a Pizza joint. So don't tell me they didn't believe it.

The fact that Bushpuppet and his fellow neocons are just as sorry as the fabian socialists that are the leftard clown posse doesn't excuse the Hildebeast...now as far as Benghazi goes and the attack on embassies during Bushpuppet's tenure? As far as we know, none of them were 13 hour attacks and sieges where "stand down orders" were give and those at embassies or compounds were intentionally left to fend for themselves when help was readily available....we know that this happened in Benghazi where ISIS/CIAl-qaeda were able to make off with 7,000 or so surface to air missiles that would be used to wage a proxy war against Assad in Syria.......of course the Hildebeast and the Barrypuppet claimed that it was a demonstration due to a youtube video attacking islam....they sent out a rube to do the Sunday morning talkshow circuit to push this narrative that was proven to be totally false........got something better to bring to the table, "Oreo"??????
You probably should read the book or watch the movie 13 hours, that was written by the CIA agents fighting this battle. FOX News turned this story into Godzilla overnight, and the lies and misconceptions coming out of them is actually astounding.
1. Benghazi was never an embassy--Ambassador Stevens showed up in Benghazi on the 10th of September, rented an un secure villa from a friend, and against the advice of the CIA that was on the ground, and was killed the very next day on the 11th.
2. Stevens put on a news conference when he arrived on the 10th, again against the advice of the CIA, letting everyone know he was in town.
3. Hillary Clinton believed him to be 400 miles away in a secure embassy in Tripoli. She didn't even know he went to Benghazi.
4. Hillary Clinton did not order anyone to stand down
5. There were in fact other Embassy's in the middle east getting raided over the video, (at the same time) so their first initial thought was that this was another raid, & not a terrorist attack.
Now FOX news has promoted this story to hell and back. They have turned it into a story that only a T.V movie producer could have imagined. This is because of the invention of 24 hour cable news, they have to have something they can talk about. They tried to tag Obama with it in 2012, and when that didn't work, it's all about Hillary Clinton over Benghazi.
The point is, we don't know the circumstances of all of Bush's embassy attacks (there may have been some wrong-doing or poor judgment used.) And we can only Thank God that Democrats did not drag up 240 grieving mothers when Reagan lost 240 U.S. marines in an attack on an embassy in Lebanon and call him a murderer.
Benghazi really couldn't be better stated than this:
"Herein lies a lesson for Republicans who are perpetually trying to appease the far right: It’s a fool’s errand.They went to the tea party – and now they’re taking Donald Trump to the prom. Likewise, then-House Speaker John Boehner named the Benghazi committee because activists were dissatisfied that seven previous congressional investigations had failed to uncover major scandal material. Now an eighth has produced more of the same – and the agitators are as agitated as ever.
There’s a certain twisted logic to this. The unhinged right starts with the ideologically satisfying answer – President Obama and Hillary Clinton are guilty of horrible Benghazi-related wrongdoing – and then works backwards, looking for “proof” that matches the conclusion. When their ostensible allies fail to tell these activists what they want to hear, they could reevaluate their bogus assumptions, but it’s vastly easier to believe Republicans have let them down.
This is what it’s come to: Benghazi conspiracy theorists are so creative, and so unmoved by evidence or reason, that they can convince themselves that congressional Republicans are in on the conspiracy."

This is what FOX NEWS has done to it's audience, and they are also responsible for Trump winning the nomination, by giving him an unprecedented 2 billion in free news coverage, while ignoring all other GOP candidates.
But WHY is CNN crushing Fox News in the ratings? | RedState
If you're still watching them or listening to right wing talk show hosts--then God help you. You are only getting half truths, that amount to a mountain of misconceptions, along with enough conspiracy theories to fill the capital building from floor to ceiling. This is where all of your hate of Hillary Clinton comes from. They even got you hating members of your party, and attacking them. If you don't know the ENTIRE whole truth, you will end up making very bad decisions.
