Hidden from the media narrative of Russian cyber sabotage is the content of the DNC leaks, and how the leaks revealed the arrogance and corruption of the Democratic Party elite.
Amidst the blame Russia hysteria, the actual content of the the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hacks has been consigned to the memory hole. In a veritable tidal wave of false narratives, the mainstream media has succeeded in drowning the legacy of the leaks in (not terribly convincing) accusations of Russian culpability. Erased from this narrative is the fact that the highest levels of the Democratic Party—supposedly neutral arbiters of the candidate selection process—sabotaged the Bernie Sanders campaign, and detest vast swaths of the Democratic Party constituency.
The first leaks appeared on July 22nd, when WikiLeaks released a collection of emails from the accounts of seven top DNC officials. The initial leaks confirmed what Sanders supporters had alleged for months, which was that the DNC was conspiring to sabotage the Sanders campaign. Emails implicated top officials such as DNC CFO Brad Marshall, who discussed planting a media story about Sanders' religious beliefs in an effort to undermine his campaign.
Replying to the email, DNC CEO Amy Dacey writes simply “AMEN”.
Another email from DNC staffer Mark Paustenbach floats the idea of planting a media narrative about the Sanders campaign being “a mess”, constantly needing to be coddled by the DNC in order to keep it afloat. Apparently without any hint of irony, Paustenbach proposes part of this narrative would focus on how Sanders' loss can be attributed to his own mistakes rather than, “a DNC conspiracy”.

Which is, of course, the reason for the blame Russia hysteria.
About damn time somebody figured out how to respond to this crap.
It's not hidden at all. We all know it is there. It is just that the #fakenews media has now, once again, demonstrated that they are all about #fakenews.
EXACTLY THIS.
Pay not attention to the man behind the curtain. Think only of the EVIL SMALL DOG who exposed him, please.
It’s hilarious that no one, not a sould, within the DNC has ever denied anything in the leaked emails.
Although Donna Brazile’s imitation of Farina from Little Rascals was amusing for a few seconds.
We the people must not let the happen. What must we do about this?
