JANUARY 17: Help! Please keep the Russian hack story on the front page. Click these links.

Last edited Wed Jan 18, 2017, 08:11 PM - Edit history (1)

If you think this is worthwhile, please kick and rec this thread.

Edit: There's a new list up for January 18: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028491469

Please help keep the stories about the Russian hack on the front page. Make it so these stories generate ad revenue and the publications have incentive to publish more like them.

The Russian hack has hit the deepest security levels of the US intelligence community, and it has made our technological security nonexistent. Our greatest allies are deciding that they can no longer share intelligence with us, because it is simply not safe with us. This is ridiculous and insane. And yet, it is not even on the front pages. Please help put it there and keep it there.

Below are 20 articles. Please click on each and scroll through. Also, please spend a little time each day on BuzzFeed and MotherJones. They are leading the way in investigating what is going on.

If you are new to this project and would like to click on the past articles, here are where you can find them:

And I tried to find some articles on Shadow Broker and the Equation Group, and there was very little. No one is onto how huge this is.

Interestingly, though, I posted a separate thread telling people to read that MotherJones article. It got some good play here and a lot of people seemed to have read it. The good news is that when I went looking for articles today, that MotherJOnes article was at the TOP of the list of news stories on "Donald Hack Russia."

So I think that means that all the clicks that went over from here might have put a lot of eyes on it and gotten it traffic.

So this project may actually have an effect.

of days have been about how the report is unsubstantiated, how it shouldn't have been put out, and how Putin says its untrue. That last is said as if it means something.

Those who report on it they way we want to see it reported should get our clicks and support.

Your list shows I wasn't even close! Thanx for taking the time to compile this list. I'm not sure it will make me feel any better about what's happening in a few days, but the only way to keep an open mind is to remain informed. Again, a million thank yous...

Actually, I can't tell if I am more scared or angry. I flip back and forth between the two. KNR
