A story published by The Washington Post Friday claims Russia hacked the electrical grid in Vermont. This caused hysteria on social media but has been denied by a spokesman for a Vermont utility company.
The Post story was titled, Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont, officials say.
The story said, A code associated with the Russian hacking operation dubbed Grizzly Steppe by the Obama administration has been detected within the system of a Vermont utility, according to U.S. officials.
The Post published the story before being able to get comment from the two utility companies in Vermont. The Burlington Electric Department would end up putting out a statement showing the premise of The Washington Post story as being untrue.

Indeed....and it’s beautiful.
The National Enquirer is and has been far more credible the the WAPO and the NYT and has been for some time.
Obama is setting the stage for a putsch. His feigned outrage over Russias violation of the sanctity of the US election is window dressing for nullifying the election somehow. Perhaps he intends to provoke an armed conflict with Russia & declare a state of emergency.
I dont know what Obama has planned but he is up to something beyond what he is stating. This story tells us that the MSM will give him PR cover for whatever action he takes.
ABC ch 7... still reporting as fact at 11:15PM. Facts be damned.
Bump to PC ... MSM’s true colors showing...
People were in DC have been calling it “Pravda on the Potomac” for at least 25 years!
I think the term from the Mass Media class I took a million years ago for this BS is “Sensationalism” It is also another attempt to keep the Russia Hack line in the heads of the masses as the hacked election story is unraveling and Putins move won the day
ABC ch 7... still reporting as fact at 11:15PM. Facts be damned.
Isn’t ABC supposed to be one of the fact checkers for Facebook to prevent “fake” news?
“The Washington Post has become the American Pravda”
Pravda is rarely taken seriously whereas the Washington Post is still regarded by many to be an authorative, reliable, news source. And in that regard the Washington Post becomes a dangerous tool to the propagandaists.
I sec I saw that story grace the screen I knew it was utter news media propaganda BS ordered to be dispensed by the Ministry of Truth from within the inner walls of WH per decree of Manchurian Monkey Candidate through Dr.Vakerie Zira...
Do what I do. Record the local news, and fast forward past everything but the weather. The TV is OFF during national news.
Always note the SIZE OF THE HEADLINE when the leftist media post fake news. As if a gigantic font adds drama to their fake stories. Old newspaper trick. The WaPo is big on this too. ABC is the king of fake news so now they’ve become the ace fact checkers.
Can anyone say RIGGED CASINO???
These are not strategically minded people. They don’t/can’t sit back, survey, plan and bide their time. All they have at any given moment is their current lie, which they wave around like idiots, hoping it will “work” and take down their objective.
So the problem leftists have with fake news is that they are stupid enough to believe it. And publish/televise/sound it off it as real. Without fact checking. Then end up looking like idiots.
