No. The link shows that since the information was published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which represents all U.S. intelligence agencies, the media incorrectly assumed the statement represented all 17, and upon finding that's not accurate, corrected the statement to show that the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency all agree that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. That doesn't make it "BS fake news" -- it corrects the sources.
So the real news is this:
The FBI, CIA and National Security Agency all agree that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump.
Since the Russians have been fucking with our elections since (that we know about) 1945 it's pretty far sighted of them to know that Trump was going to run in 2016.

The man the Russians sought first to help was Henry A. Wallace, the former vice president and secretary of Commerce. Wallace became the first public figure to oppose Harry Truman’s “get-tough policy” with the Soviets, which he adopted after it became clear that the Soviets were seeking to expand their empire to control Eastern Europe, not to reach a road to peace through negotiations with the United States. Back in 1943, Wallace already had made his views clear in a speech in which he said that “fascist interests motivated largely by anti-Russian bias” were trying to “get control of our government.”
And since the intelligence agencies have admitted they don't know what the Russians were attempting to effect. All we have is a couple of political hacks saying it was pro Trump and there is no evidence to back it.

According to the outlet, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence does not necessarily dispute the CIA’s report, but the umbrella agency — which oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies — doesn’t endorse it either due to a lack of evidence that Moscow intended to “boost” Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“ODNI is not arguing that the [CIA] is wrong, only that they can’t prove intent,” one top U.S. intelligence official told Reuters. “Of course they can’t, absent agents in on the decision-making in Moscow.”
