    If you push a button that finds you a 'random group' and it gives you a random group of people with random skill and random knowledge then you have no right to complain that a 'random group' button did what it was designed to do. The fault lies in your inability to make friends to play with instead of relying on a button designed to be random. It is a 'random group' button, not a 'best of the best' button.

    Now on the face, the using of a F4 screen to show hacking is not some OMG thing, but it just shows the laziness or carelessness on their part. Would a screen of a guy writing a script for a hack have been that hard to get? Doubtful, go down to IT tell Jim to look like he is hacking something, snap a pic. And it would have presented their viewers with accurate information, the end goal (ideally) of a news organization.
    You think there would have been a difference between showing what they did and a pic of someone 'looking like' they are hacking? Your definition of expecting more is bizarre... it's what stock footage is for...

    Even under the assumption any of this is true (which I doubt it is), I have one question for the Liberals.

    What ever are you going to do about it?

    Your out of time.
    Obamacare is going to be repealed.
    Obama will not stay in office under martial law.
    Everything you did under that president, every so called "stride" you made.

    Gone.


    Schumer and Warren will be next to be beaten in elections if they try to act as the new Reid and Pelosi.
    Americans doubt the credibility of CNN because of ridiculous nonsense like this.
    I am informed and believe Espe is a Lizard.
    You lost the election.

    Cope.


    TLDR: You reap what you sowed. Now fall in line because that is what you told everyone to do with Obama.

    Most of the details as reported by Buzzfeed are probably nonsense, but the bigger picture as reported by CNN wouldn't surprise me in the least. Kompromat would explain a lot of the bizarre things we've seen this cycle.

    Question why 'would have' is apparently so difficult to grasp, for starters.

    The problem with that, is that it's unrecognizably boring and normal looking work - versus the portrayal that people are used to, even if it's not accurate - which is Matrix code flying down the screen and cyberpunk dudes in black trenchcoats decking their way into virtual realities.

    I care a lot more about the quality of their writing and reporting, and basically nothing at all about the quality of their photos. I don't see any harm in their photo of hacking not being a realistic portrayal of hackers/hacking - particularly in an article which is not an expose on the life of modern hackers.

    To be clear, nor do I really. I do find it lazy, news should seek to educate their audience. Toss in a line like "its not glamorous or exciting like the movies show, but dont be fooled the average looking man, pouring over this code, COULD be hacking into your life" or some other similarly inciting phrase, along with a proper pic, and instead of doing the lazy bit and perpetrating some ignorance (of what hacking would look like)you inform the viewer. Thats all.

    It's already been reported Republicans are backing off on that front.

    Yup.

    Trump has said and done some amazingly terrible shit. Things that would have ended the careers of other poiticians (or aspiring politicians)...multiple bankruptcies, adultery, etc. The vile shit he said in front of audiences of thousands during his election campaign.

    His rabid fanbase seems to care very little. Unless they have footage of him stabbing a baby, I don't see how any sort of "compromising intelligence" will actually harm him at this point.

    Hacking does not look like "writing a script for a hack", which means even if you saw someone hacking, you wouldn't recognize it.

    It won't do much for the very fanatical supporter, that's pretty obvious.

    Here's the thing.

    Herr Drumpf's rabid fanbase doesn't constitute anywhere near an appreciable majority of the population, let alone voters. The margin of his victory is razor thin even by electoral standards - the real risk is not that Republican voters stop voting, the risk is that Democratic and independent voters actually do vote.
