The FBI is investigating a possible Russian hacking of New York Times reporter email accounts:

FBI investigating possible cyberbreach of New York Times reporters' email accounts | Fox News



I'm now waiting for Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz and William Kristol to condemn the hacking attack, while lauding the NYT as a strong bastion of conservative principles. This statement will also be signed by 50 members of the US intelligence community.


Seriously, we're all waiting to find out what's in those emails - enquiring minds wanna know.

This enquiring mind is concerned that Russia is obviously doing everything in its power to influence the outcome of the election.

So are you saying that NYT's emails might show something influencing the outcome of the elections?

Now what could that possibly be? Hmm....

Repeat after me -- "The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain! Because the Russians Are Coming!"

Patriotism is the Last Refuge of Scoundrels.

The Russians clearly believe the popular myth that the NY Times is a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party in the same way that Fox News is a mouthpiece of the Republican Party. Unless you believe that it's a coincidence that the Russians just happen to be targeting exclusively institutions believed to be Democrat-related. The Russians certainly don't seem especially interested in right leaning publications, let alone the Republican party itself.

Of course right wing partisan hacks will be fine with this because it serves short term Conservative interests. The rest of us, however, are uncomfortable with a competing, autocratic interest influencing an American election.

Ohhhh, but surely nothing could possibly come of this - since the NYT is in no way partisan or crooked in its reporting (AHAHAhAhAAHAA!) :lamo

Nothing to see here, folks - move along - right? Right?? :lamo

Once those emails show us how saintly and professional the NYT is, it will only embarrass conservative critics further, exposing their past criticisms of the saintly NYT as deluded paranoia. :roll:

Please share with us your theory why Russian hackers are exclusively interested in targeting institutions believed to be related to the Democratic Party.

They know that there will be no consequences.

You mean like how the US influences elections in other countries?

I believe all these breaches were made possible due to Hillary Clinton's servers. She probably had access codes to the NYT information on her hacked server.
 
I agree with sanman. Once it gets revealed that the NYT never acted in a biased manner at all then the conservative critics will be forever silenced!:lamo

Just like the DNC did for Hillary over Sanders.

We don't know any details yet - we don't even know if the hackers were Russian - that's simply the FBI's working theory.

But if I were to formulate a theory, it would be that the Democrats are a Coalition of Special Interests which are divergent from the overall interests of the American public. This would include ethnic special interests who have an axe to grind against the Russians, likely due to petty ethnic feuds which have nothing to do with the overall American national interest. That would result in an overall distortion of American policy to cater to the special interests, not only at the expense of the American people, but at the expense of Russia as well.

By way of comparison, have you ever heard of The Morgenthau Plan?

Morgenthau Plan - Metapedia

The Morgenthau Plan and the Problem of Policy Perversion

This is the kind of thing that happens when special interests get to draft foreign policy.

Don't forget to tell us how this fits in with the theory of contrails.

Anyway, this thread is already shaping up to be a rightwing partisan hack magnet. Not surprisingly.

Because everyone knows the democrats from the top, Hillary to the bottom is lying and crooked scumbags. Judicial watch, FBI, Russians, everyone asking for documents through the Freedom of Information act, etc looking at the pay for play in the foundation, looking for the destroyed 3,000 e-mails. I mean the list goes on and on of corruption in the democrat party that everyone is looking into.

Just BS blather spin to head-off what the leaker releases.

Hackers are forced to do the job that journalists as the quasi 4th Check And Balance, were supposed to do. Now journalists are just activist political hacks.

Exactly - there shouldn't be any Omer Ta that protects journalists from journalism - because otherwise then Who Watches the Watchmen?

Without that, then journalists have simply become the next layer of corruption, operating in the shadows.

'Have'?!?!?!!! 'ARE'!!!!!!! Led by the sleazy activist aholes at CNN, NBC/MSNBC and CBS.

That is certainly what they want you to think. You are a good subject.:)

What might the Russian hack show, do you think, that would change the course of the election?
