I don’t disagree with your evaluation of American news seeking behavior. What I was saying is that here there are more opportunities to seek out different viewpoints even if most do not. On the other hand, Putin has made it almost impossible to get alternative viewpoints in Russia.
Agreed putin is a dictator’s dictator. Also we have a guy that wants to be a dictator’s dictator. Our lamestream media is comprised of (classified) but they (our lamestream) does have facts they refuse to share with the public. M A N Y F A C T S. Is one thing to have the facts and a dictator says you may not state those facts or you will disappear. Is an entirely different matter when a media has the facts and are free to report those facts but for the sake of an agenda those facts are thrown in the shredder then emptied into the waste paper basket or is our lamestream media being put under the same threats of disappearing? Might want to do some research and discover some of our media people too are disappearing. Maybe not through death or imprisonment but rather off the air.
