In an article titled Russia and U.S. Elections posted on Washington Unfiltered, Chance Walters discusses the topic of our 2016 Presidential election and the role that Russia is accused of having in its outcome.
I completely agree with the statement that is made concerning a double-standard. The media had their minds made up before election day as to who was supposed to win. When their carefully laid plans did not pan out, they resorted to other means to try and discount the Trump Presidential win. I would also agree that cyber security is a big threat to our country. With the massive amounts of technological improvements that are constantly being made, there is a threat to us, and we must be vigilant in safeguarding our country.
To think that the media is not biased and doesn't show us only things they want us to see, is clearly not being honest. Do I think it works from both sides, yes. I am willing to acknowledge that. Do I think that Russia played a part in the Trump win? No, I do not. Trump had no prior political experience or intimate relations with Russia. Why or how would he have gained the knowledge or been able to contact Russia to set something like this up? Our government knows all. Would they not have know something like this? And if so, would they not have mentioned BEFORE they lost the election? Seems a little strange to me to pull out the Russia hacked us card.
