FAKE NEWS ABOUT RUSSIA HAS LOST CREDIBILITY

In the last few weeks, we have heard so much news about alleged Russian hacks of DNC and Podesta emails that it isn’t even news anymore. The only reason it appears to be news is that it continues to have front-page position in the orthodox media even though the basic story is old and unchanged.

The story contains basically two elements: (1) security agencies of the US government say there is overwhelming evidence that emails were hacked by the Russian government to effect the presidential election, but (2) those agencies have failed to deliver that evidence. The only new elements that appear from day to day is the name of the person or agency that makes the claim and that fails to deliver. The featured stories from this week’s news are classic examples of that pattern.

The only reason we are bothering to report on this ongoing non-news phenomenon is that the major media outlets are counting on people to become so saturated by the claim that they fail to notice that the proof of the claim is still missing. We must not let them get away with that deception.
