“So once again a foreign power — usually Russia — is allegedly trying to manipulate the American people with disinformation as a presidential election is coming on. How dare the Russians do this? Political manipulation is allowed only to certain anointed Americans. It’s a position of privilege. So the government will protect us from ‘consuming’ Russian propaganda without knowing it. We’re too stupid to check claims out for ourselves when they sound fishy — even when they come from so-called ‘legitimate’ sources. (Point of information: are Russians incapable of saying anything accurate worth hearing? Just asking.) Before we get all primed for nuclear war, let’s take a deep breath.” (09/13/24)
