Well the buzzfeed story turned out to be pure finegrained human shit. But it stands in an ever growing paddock of media shitpiles.  
The paranoia and carelessness is a giant distraction from real problems with  mainstream Neo-Liberal media attempts to divert attention from their own role in the Tyrannosaurus Rump spectacle and their big lie that everything is fine but Russia and Islam. 

 There is no underestimation of “the the Russians ' effect on the 2016 US election and government” . There is in fact a massive overestimation which has begotten one phony story after another. Them’s the facts Mark.

At one point, Manafort offered to give Deripaska private briefings on the campaign. twitter.com/TheLoyalO/stat…
