It is hardly an excuse to say that today Russian propaganda is more pro-America than American propaganda. It is a reason why it is more acceptable to patriotic Americans (in the understanding of that term pre-Barrack Obama).

In other words, if the propaganda matches one’s bias it’s not propaganda anymore, but something else. And the notion that Russian propaganda is not anti-American simply is laughable.

It's not as anti-American as what you get on CNN or MSNBC or from Barack Obama on any given day. And yes, it's propaganda ( I've been calling it propaganda all along). It's just nowhere near as harmful as what the the U.S. Media and our government spew out about us. And sometimes it even is better for real American interests than what comes from our own political elite.

I know we're getting into semantics, here. So there's no point in wasting our time over it . . . I would argue that Russian propaganda is just as anti-American as the others. The only difference being that it is tailored toward people who know the others have an anti-American bias.

One difference between the two forms of propaganda is that the Russian version actually is good (in the sense that they know what buttons to push).

Their concern is stripping the legacy white USA culture that made America great and replacing it with Somalis, Syrians, etc. The libs and their cuck media are a threat indeed and they have been able to convince us sheep that to complain is racist and bigoted.
