I disagree. That Russia, or any country, tried to influence the US elections is banal, expected, a yawner. If you’re shocked (SHOCKED!) by this then you haven’t been paying attention over the last, uh, 1,250 years. Me, I would have been shocked if neither Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc, along with Kissinger, Kristol, Cheney, and the Koch brother DIDN’T try to manipulate the US election. THAT would be news. But this?
By way of illustration, take the OJ Simpson trial. I do remember being gob smacked that CNN persisted in calling it “The Trial Of The Century”.
Excuse me? I thought that the Nuremberg Trials had that trophy locked down, and by a country mile. The OJ Simpson affair was, it’s sad to say, a perfectly ordinary, everyday, run of the mill wife-beating and -murder. Do not think, for a second, that I think wife-beatings aren’t important. But the OJ Simpson murder was no extraordinary case. The really sad part is that this happens every day, or moreso about every six hours in the 'States.
