Duh

And the White reaction is? Iran, Iran, Iran!!

AWESOME! I LOVE how you are setting up the Democrat party for another four years of mindlessly chanting RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!

miriamleon4444 We should black out Moscow in response. We should do so right now.

DefundNPR Defund NPR I am part of the National Public and they are not taking me into consideration. You only look at 50 % of the population. The other 50% are conservatives you do not care about us.

More BS - Putin is in the ballot booth with every American - so stoopid

Again, why don’t you come out and be totally honest NPR? Headlining this report is ludicrous when our infrastructure is constantly under cyber attack, 24/7. You’ve conveniently chosen to headline this particular report to scare your readers solely based on the election timing!!

Ich habe gerade gelesen, dass Russland und die USA in Sachen Cybersicherheit zusammenarbeiten wollen. Warum posaunen Sie denn diese Meldung aus, wenn es keine Hinweise auf Wahlmanipulation gibt? Oder wollen Sie manipulieren? 😴😴😴

Corona Joe knows he and his crack head son Hunter are going to jail if he's not elected to POTUS - RICO laws broken.

Defund corrupt npr

Why has this not been the priority investigation for all national news organizations for the past year, since Robert Mueller told us it was our greatest and most critical national security threat? It has barely been discussed by media until recent weeks.

What is the administration’s response to foreign election interference AGAIN? Hope this is addressed in tonight’s debate.

Lol. Ignore the Biden crime family.

NPR is a partisan disgrace.Why are tax payers funding their agenda driven machine?

Nice room noise during the newscast! NPR has ZERO production standards. NPR doesn't care. P-pops, digital distortion, vocals in bed music, mouth noise, ums and uhs, room noise, abruptly ending audio, and the clicking of mice, this is NPR.

Defund Don't let your tax money go to biased orgs. Defund

If there's no evidence.. how come this wasn't a waste of time for your readers but Hunter Biden emails are?

josh_emerson Has anyone noticed that NOBODY talks about (or even considers) Drumpf winning a FAIR election? All GOP/Drumpf campaign efforts focus on is CAN THEY CHEAT ENOUGH to win or get it into courts. TrumpIsPathetic

😂🤣🤪 Did AdamSchiff get to play on someone’s computer and start another fake story?

Can you all just stop the circle jerk you are involved in and stop pretending that your news coverage isn’t biased? There is a story as big as this one and you refuse to cover it. Which one of you are brave enough to come forward? cowards corruption news

Would they tell us if it was altered? If it benefited Trump I doubt it.

Scumbag McBride add NPR refuses to acknowledge the hunter Biden and family scandal. Everyone should stop donating to this left-wing station that pretends they're middle of the road. This is disgusting!

The damage is already done. All they really have to do is say, 'we were here' and that will be sufficient for many to undermine confidence in the electoral process.

When will Trump speak out against this

Obama warned Trump of Russia. But Trumps love for Putin was greater than his love for America and here we are 4 yrs with this IMPOTUS and Russia is still fucking with America. BidenHarris2020

Fuc%ng stop them! realDonaldTrump it is your job to stop this!

For those interested in learning more about the Biden family corruption read Peter Schweizers book “Profiles in Corruption “. Don’t let NPR act as your censor.

And this is why Trump discouraged mail-in voting and encouraged people to head to the polling places.

Yeah and guess who has a relationship with them? The Bidens, cover the story. Y’all covered all the lies about the Trump campaign so here we have hard evidence and witnesses. Cover the story.

'Madam Speaker there are serious allegations of corruption involving Joe Biden...are you going to respond to this in any way?' Washington Examiner reporter Kerry Picket asked. 'I'm not going to answering your question, okay? I don't have all day for questions,' Pelosi answered.

LaptopFromHell

If Joe Biden shot someone on Fifth Avenue, would NPR report it?

Here we go again. We are NOT buying this crap any longer!

NPR missed an opportinity to add some slime like “links to the Trump campaign are under investigation.” Which election systems are most easily compromised?

TIME TO DEFUND NPR. If you want to continue to be champions for the Left then fund yourselves.

So we’re ready this time?! (Hate to beat a dead horse, but just imagine if we didn’t have a pro-Russian pres in office) (and yes, he is pro-Russian)

Next time people, elect Democrats to Congress and the Presidency. The party with majority for each state makes election decisions. Republicans are incapable of acting ethically or with everyone’s interest at heart. Also. Paper ballots. You had time to change over. Fix it.

Name sources or this is more fake news. 2016 redux of Russian collusion nonsense. I remember listening to all your reporting about millions of Russian bots. All lies.

The most fascinating tidbit that I've been able to glean from the news is just how paranoid Putin is. Not about the virus but his suspicion of those around him who seek to do him in. fascinating. Dunno. I C

The only thing seems to be good for is finding Russian propaganda and right wing supremacy.

A 'blue wave' in U.S. elections could bring forward Fed rate hikes, says Morgan StanleyThe first rate hike by the Federal Reserve could be brought forward from around 2024-2025 to 2023-2024, said Jim Caron, a fixed income portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. A bizarre thesis. Fiscal stimulus could speed up the recovery and allow interest rates to return to normal...and this is bad news? Wider economic growth is so much more important to the average American than low interest rates. The only problem is its going to be a red wave not blue You guys never cease to amaze me. How much fear is there out there.
