(5,624 posts)What was missing is a sense that this coverage is actually important. After The Washington Post broke the story that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked, The Times came back with its own solid piece, but it didnt crack the front page and it earned only a modest mention on the home page. A piece laying out evidence that the Russians may be trying to falsify voting results in state databases ran on A15 and got minimal play digitally. Another on Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. signaling that the White House was prepared to order a rare covert cyberattack against Russian found a home on page A19.
Turbocharged coverage might have led readers inside the cloak-and-dagger underworld of the hackers and the hacked. It might have more fully explored the government lapses in protecting information systems. And it could have told readers more about the effort to uncoil Trumps involvement, if any, in the hacking. When you think about it, there are few more crucial assertions than whether a possible occupant of the White House participated in an act of espionage against his country.
I asked Sanger, a highly knowledgeable and seasoned hand on matters of cyberwarfare, about the challenges in covering information hacks. American drone strikes and Russians bombing a hospital in Syria are immediate, gripping, tragic human stories, he said. A cyberstrike, by nature, is subtle, its effects often hidden for months, its importance usually a mystery. The bigger story here is that a foreign power has inserted itself in the fundamental underpinnings of American democracy using cybertechniques. Weve never seen that before.
