I don't think the media (neither in the US or elsewhere) need much "help" to spread propaganda , just saying :p

In most cases though, making sure you read / watch two or there very different sources means you will get opposite propagandas, so you can try to piece it together yourself

The US has deemed Russia to be a threat since WW2. Now Trump comes along and the Country suddenly becomes cuddly
its a strange world that we live in.

Trump is brilliant. There is a wise old saying: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer." This man knows exactly what he is doing..... unlike the idiots who think we should be antagonistic toward Russia at every opportunity. As long as Putin enjoys playing chess with Trump, America remains three times as safe as it would be with the idiot Dims trying to goad Russia into constant confrontations.

I think lies and propaganda are a tool of the Devil. Wars get started over lies and propaganda, genocides are started by lies and propaganda against certain peoples and groups. Propaganda and lies are nothing new, but they sure seem to be increasing lately. It also seems here in the US the news media is being more and more influenced by the powers that be in Government.

I watch several news sources. And were it not for FOX, I can think of at least a half dozen important occurrences that I never would have heard about. They sure never showed up on CNN.

Theyve been influenced by the gubberment for decades. Trump just peeled back the facade for us to see it.

Why would Russia want to hack anything in Hickville Vermont? lol

What's also funny is the US has been hacking other countries for years, like with the virus they sent into the Iran nuclear facility. So it's like the pot calling the kettle black. I saw another news story where John McCain called Russia's hacking an "act of war". So strong puffed up words being used lately.

I think what says the most is that our government has supposedly known all about this for months, even years..... but it wasn't deemed important enough to be concerned about until, Oops!, Hillary lost the election. Then, all hell suddenly breaks loose about how horrible and damaging this is.

I didn't vote for either one, as I believe both are phonies. But I have noticed a bias against Trump in the news before, and even now after the election. So it does seem like there are some very sore losers pulling the media strings. lol :)
