What about all the propaganda we have listened to for the last 8 years?
Propagandists don’t like the competition.
They liked it when it was Soviet Russia, however.
Could somebody in the Senate please add an amendment that also includes propaganda by the MSM.
And Correct The Record Trolls?
And Republicans wonder why they are not elected to office. On top of it, most do not recognize that the big Republican gains are because of Trump, and only because of Trump. Left to their own devices the Democrats would be in total control right now. In other words this is about as worthless as teats on a boar hog.
This the same congress that made it legal for the US Govt to use propaganda against US Citizens? That congress?
So the House is concerned about Pooty Poot’s peeps acting like our MSM?
The democrats make Russia interfering in our election their main theme. SO our ahole Repubs immediately move to validate the dem narrative. Real bright.
What about Chinese propaganda?
Oh the irony of leftists suddenly taking a stance against Russian propaganda.
Oh I thought this was about Hillary. /s
Since the Kremlin’s seizure of Crimea in March 2014, setting off what I’ve termed Cold War 2.0 between Russia and the West, propaganda has played a key role in President Vladimir Putin’s new aggressiveness. Theres general consensus that the Kremlin’s weaponized propaganda represents a significant component of Russia’s arsenal in the shadow conflict of ideas, information, espionage, and secret warriors that Ive called Special War.
There’s really nothing new about this except how the Internet gives such propaganda unprecedented reach, quickly. This is merely an online version of the well-honed Cold War practice of what Kremlin spies term Active Measures, meaning the dissemination of lies and semi-lies at the West for political effect. More properly it’s called disinformation dezinformatsiya or deza for short among Kremlin insiders a murky amalgam of fact and sordid fiction.
Moscow churned out disinformation down to the collapse of the Soviet Union, often with success. They had little trouble finding credulous Western media willing to report their deceptions uncritically. One of the KGB’s more notorious lies of the 1980s, that the American government maliciously created the AIDS virus, still reverberates today in certain quarters.
