Yes. We're in the middle of an information war between America and Russia. I highly recommend doubting everything that involves either of these countries. I'm yet to find a single source of information that doesn't contain bias one way or the other. Even HN seems to have a "of course it's Russia" bias these days.
Remember that even naming these two countries is a bias unless there is specific evidence. America and Russia are obvious suspects, but other countries (and even non-state actors).
There is very little actual evidence and far too much time spent on useless - and distracting - speculation.

I suspect a lot of people are still using cold war era standards for how propaganda works. The modern methods[1] are a lot more subtle. A potential example might be this very thread where a lot of people seem to be wasting time speculating about the leak's origins instead of looking at the actual evidence that is available: the software itself.
[1] e.g. Russia's "non-linear warfare" methods that introduce as much confusing/distracting chaos as possible, or the psychological wedges JTRIG (GCHQ) uses to split communities before they grow into larger "problems".
