    these bull journalists from the Bullshington Post are getting pathetic

    A malware from Russian origin is found in an old laptop sitting in the power grid company. Not even connected to the network

    And their headline reads: Russian govmt hacks US powergrid system

    And they dont even apologize for this after being found re ed

    S how anyone can read that trash paper is beyond me

    WPost’s New ‘Fake News’ on Russian ‘Hack

    https://consortiumnews.com/2017/01/0...-russian-hack/

    Then, last Friday, the newspaper was at it again – breathlessly reporting that the Vermont energy grid was apparently hacked by the scapegoat du jour, Russia. Although there should have been obvious questions asked: Why Vermont? What has that state ever done to Russia? Well, not much as it turns out; nor Russia to Vermont.

    Yet again the Post has revised its reporting down to the fact that a laptop, completely unconnected to the grid, according to the energy provider’s statement, had been infected by malware. In other words, there was no Russian hacking into the Vermont power grid.

    They love this paper here in the DC area. They have good local sections. But their politics and news is attrocious. The onion has better and more accurate articles.

    they smeared Bernie to death, then
    tried the same with Trump

    Are you claiming the WaPo didn't write the initial story?

    Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say








    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.

    This one was even worse from the WaPo



    Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say

    By Craig Timberg November 24, 2016
    Editor’s Note: The Washington Post on Nov. 24 published a story on the work of four sets of researchers who have examined what they say are Russian propaganda efforts to undermine American democracy and interests. One of them was PropOrNot, a group that insists on public anonymity, which issued a report identifying more than 200 websites that, in its view, wittingly or unwittingly published or echoed Russian propaganda. A number of those sites have objected to being included on PropOrNot’s list, and some of the sites, as well as others not on the list, have publicly challenged the group’s methodology and conclusions. The Post, which did not name any of the sites, does not itself vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s findings regarding any individual media outlet, nor did the article purport to do so. Since publication of The Post’s story, PropOrNot has removed some sites from its list

    Dimwit, I don't have time nor inclination to be on here all day every day like you. Have fun with your territorial pissing, chump.

    Ever heard of the term 'consider the source?' That is what I was speaking of. I get that you desperately want Breitbart and the like to be credible but it still isn't. Have fun in your echo chamber. I will continue to ask for corroboration.

    I'm going to guess you got this off of a social media post. It's not an AP source. Deal with it.
