The [[mainstream media]] ran with the CrowdStrike version of a hack in an attempt to delegitimize Trump. Starting in June 2016 and continuing forward the DNC, ''[[Washington Post]]'', ''[[New York Times]]'', and other MSM outlets used CrowdStrike's allegations in an attempt to delegitimize [[Donald Trump]] while providing an excuse for Hillary Clinton's loss of the [[2016 presidential election]]. From there followed claims that "Russia hacked the U.S. elections."
