WikiLeaks publishes searchable database of almost 20,000 emails from DNC.

Well, yes, it does matter. If one is being manipulated, it's best to know who's doing it.

I should think such a point would be obvious.

My point was more the media perhaps seems to be focusing more on who hacked who rather than talking about what hacks reveal. Right?

I get that point, but especially given her own email scandal, getting to the bottom of how those emails were obtained seems pertinent.

Time Warner Cable gives millions to the Clintons so it's in CNNs interest not to make the Clintons look bad.

I'm not sure I follow your logic here. Giving money to a candidate make the candidate beholden to you, in American politics, not the other way 'round.

Seems the Russians are getting blamed for everything these days.

Well, in this case the accusation seems justified:

News of the hack of the Democratic National Committee first broke in mid-June. That’s when Crowdstrike, a firm that analyzes threats to network security, revealed that the DNC had called it in to inspect the party’s servers, where it found “two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network.” Crowdstrike released a comprehensive report of its findings on June 14, which accompanied a Washington Post article detailing the attacks. One of the hacking groups, Crowdstrike found, had access to the DNC servers for almost a year.

A day after that report, someone calling themselves Guccifer 2.0 (an allusion to notorious hacker Guccifer) claimed claimed responsibility for the hack in a blog post. Through the blog and an accompanying Twitter account, Guccifer 2.0 refuted Crowdstrike’s claims that this was a Russian operation, instead calling himself a “lone hacker.” He also claimed to have handed much of the DNC bounty to Wikileaks.

The following week, two cybersecurity firms, Fidelis Cybersecurity and Mandiant, independently corroborated Crowdstrike’s assessment that Russian hackers infiltrated DNC networks, having found that the two groups that hacked into the DNC used malware and methods identical to those used in other attacks attributed to the same Russian hacking groups.

But some of the most compelling evidence linking the DNC breach to Russia was found at the beginning of July by Thomas Rid, a professor at King’s College in London, who discovered an identical command-and-control address hardcoded into the DNC malware that was also found on malware used to hack the German Parliament in 2015. According to German security officials, the malware originated from Russian military intelligence. An identical SSL certificate was also found in both breaches.

No doubt Russia would prefer a Trump Presidency, given his diffidence about our NATO commitments.
