I read the times article, and then out of curiosity tracked down the original post by ShiShi Rose. I think through the game of telephone it got distorted a bit:

Uh, white people will come out of this administration far less scathed than folks of color. We’ve got to call them out on that.
I’m still a little unsettled by Hannah’s article about the hacking.
Well of course you’re right, but why approach people on your own team who are trying to help with cynicism, sarcasm, and alienation, simply because they are white?
It’s such bullshit. It’s just another case of The Left Eating Itself. Everyone put your fucking Oppression Olympics on hold for just one fucking day and get together to protest Trump. Jesus WEPT.
Something that helps me cut back on drinking is to use, say, a wine glass to drink my juice/ice water/soda instead of wine... I’m going through the motions, but not actually drinking any alcohol. It really does help with the cravings.
Can I hear some of you tell me that you were glad to make the decision to start an antidepressant?
Counterpoint: Monica Crowley is an inspirational figure who rose from the South Side of Chicago to become the model she is, today. Her parents urged her on to a better life, noting that, in this country, the only limitations are the scope of your dreams. And hard work. Further, she has lived her life by the motto:…
Great post. I come to Jezebel to get a sane take on the crazy antics going on around the world but this article is embarrassing and bordering on fake news. Of course they’re not going to release the classified portion, isn’t that just common sense?
This article is pretty strange to read on Jezebel, honestly. The tone, the weird framing (the statement that the report just repeats allegations that the Democrats made during the campaign- What??), but particularly the underlying completely dishonest statement that the intelligence agencies have provided no evidence.…
If you don’t have the intellectual capacity and basic understanding of Civics, then fucking blog about the Kardashians or about a cute donkey, or about beach volleyball. Or ask someone. Or use google. Or, idk, read the original report even if it IS 25 pages, and make a cogent, informed argument. This blog will live as…
Well said. There’s really no excuse for someone who has decided to write an article on this not to have done some basic background work. I enjoy this site but things like this definitely help tip the scales towards “blog” rather than “journalism.” This piece in particular is bumping dangerously up against the fake…
Literally every person who was in the meeting with the officials who came out of it and saw the actual evidence said they believed it and said that they wished that they would declassify if precisely because of very articles like this. What are you even doing right now Hannah? I mean even Paul f***ing Ryan is on…
I agree. I’ve seen other sites do this as well. I don’t know why people seem to think that sensitive foreign relations must be conducted with a “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of proof. It’s all about confidence levels and judgment calls. It’s not a damn criminal trial and I’m really tired of hearing people who…
All I’m getting out of this is that whoever wrote the NYT piece doesn’t understand what an analysis is. The report’s declassified, of course it’s not going to have any of the actual intel that led them to their conclusion in it. And fuck whatever Putin’s mouthpieces are saying, they’re irrelevant because we know…
THANK YOU. This article is outrageous and should be retracted. Completely misleading.
Hannah, I’m disappointed in the clickbait title. Claiming these agencies “did not present evidence” is not merely misleading but untrue. You are spreading same sort of misinformation that drives clicks for conspiracy bloggers and Fox News.
Wow. This is a total garbage article. Jezebel really needs to rethink its political reporting- really, really not good. Let’s look at the NYTimes. Oh look. Literally the second bullet point front page main points of the article without even clicking on the article itself:
There are many reasons to not present much of the evidence. Much of it can be surmised by what level of confidence each agency gave it. NSA can only give moderate confidence because of the way NSA gathers its evidence. The FBI and CIA almost certainly have human assets at high reaches of the government and their lives…
But the declassified report contained no information about how the agencies had collected their data
