The Times is one of the most biased sources of media these days. Obama blamed Russia for directed hacks, while if you get past the NYTimes headline, you'll read this:
> The statement from Mr. Clapper and the Department of Homeland Security, which is primarily responsible for defending the country against sophisticated cyberattacks, said the intelligence agencies were less certain who was responsible
It's very sad, but it's getting harder and harder to trust the New York Times with anything that could have a political element lately.

We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities,” the statement said
It's very clear the official statement points their finger at Russia at authorizing the attacks. What is not clear is who did it.

That's the official statement by the Obama administration. Mr. Clapper, who represents the agencies that actually know anything at all about the attacks, says otherwise.
So let me get this straight - DNC was corrupt as exposed by Russians and we are supposed to be mad at Russians... not the corrupt DNC?

What did the average American gain from 40 years of nuclear chicken?
Of all Europeans, Russians are the most similar culturally ( what group do you think would be more natural at a football-watching beer barbecue? ).
This just comes off as scare tactics from an organization (DNC) desperate to divert attention from dozens of instances of documented felonies contained in the leaks.
