find a way to polish every turd of Trump's b.s, blunders, brags, insults, exaggerations, absurdities etc. Just like the pathetic Stockholm Syndromers that they are, most of the MSM will keep begging for more abuse to be heaped upon them by Trump while collecting their princely salaries. Only a few MSNBC commentators in the evening slots are speaking truth to the power. However, Chuck Todd and his ilk need to grow a spine.

That’s why. Security of the country and even treason doesn’t matter, they feel they cannot go against him right now because their own jobs would be forfeit. Some of them are definitely in on the Russian thing but for most it’s simply about job security.

Russia attacked us electronically. It was a cyberattack.
The language that's framing this must change!

But, of course as most others will say, "interference" is normal statecraft - even among allies.

The actions that were taken were meant to be destructive. Maybe not as bad as the destruction of Iranian centrifuges by SCUDA (US/Israeli?). Maybe not as bad as us disrupting telecommunication systems for as long as they existed. Maybe not as bad as every country feeding false information into another (and even to their own populations) to influence opinions.

Still the cunning and breadth of this attack is revealing. With the ability of machine-learning and rapid simulation of scenarios I can see how a smart adversary could "game" the system pretty easily.

When they say "meddling" or "interfering"

we say

"CYBER WARFARE"

critical ...so instead of meddling say attack; collusion say treason; misstatements say lie, he lies, he's a liar; and instead of saying pendejo trump say he's a f@$!#!ing moron (now, now don't look at me that was tillerson's apt descrption of the odious racist.)
