Associated Press Issues Correction For Six Months of Russian #FakeNews Reporting

The Associated Press becomes the latest news organization attempting to distance themselves from the ‘Vast 2016 Russian Election Conspiracy Theory’ narrative, otherwise known as ‘muh Russia’.
Obviously posting their “clarification” over six months of Fake News citations, late on a Friday night leading into a holiday weekend shows the slyness of the creeping toward the exit. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along; pay no attention to the creepy journalists hugging the walls slinking off… nothing to see here.
This latest AP walk-back follows on the heels of the New York Times exit a few days ago.
Both corrections reference a Russian Election Interference Joint Analysis Report, widely called the “Russian Intelligence Report”, which has been falsely used by most media to frame a narrative that 17 agencies within the U.S. intelligence community agreed that Russia attempted to interfere with the U.S. election.
It is not coincidental the two most politicized intelligence operatives, John Brennan (CIA) and James Comey (FBI), presented the information along with like-minded political traveler ODNI James Clapper. While Admiral Mike Rogers (NSA) is also included in the report authorship, it is largely -and intentionally- overlooked that Rogers only held a “moderate confidence” in the overall report finding. It was Brennan and Comey who claimed “high confidence” in the report content.
We have continually pointed out at the time the report was written it appeared to be entirely political in construct. The intent of the report was to provide source material for the overall Russian conspiracy narrative; and also establish some framework for the White House to take action, vis-a-vis sanctions.
Against the backdrop of the December 2016 sanctions announcement, President Obama’s administration released the Joint Analysis Report claiming it outlined details of Russia’s involvement hacking into targeted political data-base or computer systems during the election.
Except it didn’t
Not even a little.

^ We've known that. The "17 agencies" stuff was pre-election, IIRC, and it was debunked a long time ago.
This is pretty simple, IMO: the media can no longer get away with making shite up, and now they're in a period of adjustment.
New outlets will adapt to this new reality or die.

I suspect that the White House is threatening all of them with revocation of their access if they don't stop this nonsense once and for all.
None of these so called media outlets are journalists anymore. They are propaganda machines.

Anyone who was actually in intelligence wouldn't go around broadcasting or bragging about that.
But people like NT74 and SCH loveee to act like they know everything about the military and the world

What needs to happen now is an investigation into how they decided that certain IP addresses were indicators of an attack and broadcast that out to all the states cyber security teams protecting the election databases.
The reason I say that is that this is not an indicator of attack. These IP's are easily masked so that if an attacker is consistently using them, it's so that they can be seen. In the case of the one's Homeland sent out, they were seen visiting most of the Sec of State or election websites for most of the states but that's it. They were simply in the logs as having visited. They weren't trying to penetrate.
Quite the coincidence that something even the newest script kiddie would know how to do, proxy out to another IP address via VPN or various other ways to mask themselves, suddenly muh russians couldn't be bothered, and then they went and visited all the websites with that IP address?
bullshite. Whoever used those intended to be seen in the logs so that someone else could sell this story. And the whole thing was agreed to by Homeland Security and the FBI who sent out these IP's as something to search for.
That right there is where this investigation needs to go. Because somebody high up in those organizations did that intentionally knowing it meant nothing. Find them and ask them why.

This is teutonic.
But anyway, does this mean it didn't happen? Trump agreed that it did. But it would be great news for Obama, I guess, if it didn't happen.

They knew it 6 months ago. They are only giving up on it after they milked it for as much political damage as they could.

Now that Muh Russians parents are turning on it, effectively killing it, doesn't it effectively cut the hamstrings, or worse, of Muh Legacy?
Trump will decide how fast Muh Legacy bleeds out.

So because it wasnt 17 agencies then the Rissians didnt interfere? You guys have to be smarter than this.

And, make no mistake. Everyone knows you liberals do this on purpose.
Yes. 99.9% of the people know that in EVERY election, foreign nations to obviously include Russia attempt to interfere or affect our elections.
THAT isn't news and frankly, no one would give a flying frick if that's all liberals ever said about it.
Nice try though.
