How FAKE NEWS works its wiles - dissecting a New York Times story

The subject of conversation was the report released by United States intelligence chiefs on Friday informing President-elect Donald J. Trump of their unanimous conclusion
===not unanimous that's a lie, only 3 agencies signed on to the faux "report"
that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered an extensive, but covert, cyberoperation to help Mr. Trump win the election.
=== absolutely no solid proof whatsoever has been shown to legitimize this obtuse claim
The Russians had hacked and leaked emails, unleashed "trolls" on social media and used their "state-run propaganda machine" to spread stories harmful to Hillary Clinton.
===zero evidence whatsoever has been shown which would prove these wild claims
In Washington, the report was viewed as extraordinary, both for its timing, raising sharp questions about the president-elect's legitimacy on the verge of his taking office,
===in their dreams.... the report is lying and fakery and raises no such questions
and for its assertions, describing the operation as Russia's boldest effort yet to meddle with American elections, to spread discontent and to "undermine the U.S.-led democratic order."
==complete lying and falsehood
But interviews with Trump supporters here in Louisiana, a state the president-elect won by 20 points, and in Indiana, a state he won by nearly the same margin, found opinions about the report that ranged from general indifference to outright derision.
===notice the condescending tone trying to imply those they interview are naive, in denial, or stupidly dense, because the paper assumes the report is FACT, when the only real fact unequivocal is that the CIA lies for a living
"From the parts of the report I've seen," said Rob Maness, a retired Air Force colonel who twice ran for Senate here as Tea Party favorite, "it seems silly."
Of the comments he had seen from fellow Trump supporters on Facebook and in emails, he added, "90 percent of them are like, 'What's the big deal?'"
"I don't believe it," Mr. Yates, 78, said flatly of the intelligence report. He was standing in the yard under his "Make America Great Again" flag, which he bought at a gun show several months ago. "Why would Putin even want Trump?"
===notice the subtle implication Trump supporters are mostly gun-toting 'right wingers'
But Mr. Yates then added: "Why is everybody so afraid of Russia? I'm not against Putin."
This last sentiment was not uncommon. Even among those who were troubled by the hacks, few felt that Russia was a serious threat.
===Again the Times works the presumption/assumption the "report" is factual instead of just more made up CIA bullsh*t
Ms. Kubacki said she perceived Russia as "somewhere in the middle" between friend and enemy,
===They should have said not a friend, but they used "enemy" instead
but agreed with Mr. Trump that the United States could work with them to defeat the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. "We may have to line up with people who may not be our 'friend' to make that happen," she said.
===The paper implying that Russia is an enemy, by printing this in the sly way they did to imply she called Russia enemy, all she said is Russia was not at this time a buddy of ours.
