Not even an attempt to look at it from a historical perspective, huh. This wasn’t even something new.

Well. Dear Lord help us. He’s all that can help us, when the institutions of men have gone this jabberwocky, but He’s also entirely sufficient to help us.

"Not even an attempt to look at it from a historical perspective, huh. This wasn’t even something new."

That's how I understand it - hacking is a constant and long-standing tradition among world powers (including the United States) - yet most of the news coverage creates the impression that this is something brand new, something unprecedented - and that only Russia is doing it.

And this false impression gains a foothold even amongst a public in which millions of people have been having problems with malware on their own computers for years.
