I have begun to wonder if perhaps Mr. Kennedy was a bought and paid for functionary of the USSR in America. Or would he have done as he did out of ideological conviction?

Not "bought and paid for". Kennedy obviously did what he did out of choice. He was pro-Soviet and anti-Reagan because he wanted to be.

It was his choice to act in a traitorous manner -- because he actually favored the Soviet Union over America.

The MSM will never report these findings, of course. They won't be outraged; one wonders if they're even embarrassed about them.

How could MSM, or academic liberals, for that matter possibly be embarrassed? America is loathsome while the USSR was a beacon of hope to downtrodden humanity, even if it was a bit messy about the implementation.
