It only took them around 8 hours to respond, but I'm sure they just wanted to get the facts straight first. You know, like they do with everything else.

Yeah, but, is anyone even surprised by this leak? It just feels like, "yeah...eh". It is wrong and it is scary, but it's not a shocker.

After Snowden, it's hard to muster any shock about what the CIA can and does do. To be honest, I'd be disappointed if they couldn't hack into my car and make me drive off a cliff.Kaius wrote:Yeah, but, is anyone even surprised by this leak? It just feels like, "yeah...eh".

Re: The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump
I'm sure the media on the left was equally super concerned with who was leaking the info damaging Trump, and not the info itself.
I'm sure of it. I'm sure it was in all their headlines.
But finding out who is responsible is probably more important than:

I stand by the following previous statements:

2. Conversations about TV news should acknowledge their primary status as news-based entertainment, and they should not be included in any evaluative conversation about journalism.
3. Huffington Post is basically People magazine, and more people read it for inspiring articles about how some lady's divorce was the best thing she's ever done for her kids (or OMG Alec Baldwin crushed it on SNL snark snark) than to learn anything about anything.

If the CIA can't spy on me via my appliances, then no one has ever watched me get blown on the couch, and that means I need to get a dog pronto.

Okay, burt. That was your initial assessment. Then you started back tracking. You were wrong. Calm down and get over it. You are okay in my book.

Trump news: "Anonymous leaks confirm Trump administration in complete disarray! Here are all the juicy details!"
CIA news (if they bother to report on it): "OMG who is the plant leaking info in the CIA!"

I'm mildly surprised by anyone who didn't already think that the government could and would do these things, tbh. Maybe I just watch too many movies.
