A point I was trying to make is that while Putin has managed to consolidate almost all Russian media in his hands, including likely responsibility for assassination of journalists, here in US there are still widely different views expressed in a number of places.
I guess my question would be, winning what?
Hearts, minds, wars, peace and not necessarily in that order. I am completely at a disconnect in regards to your thinking our lame-stream isn't better than Pravda in propaganda. Where do the majority of Americans receive their news? Answer ... the lame-stream better than Pravda media. Am surprised you think all Americans listen to and view other alternate media sources. Americans listen to the sources of information they have the time to tune in. That usually involves thirty minutes each night with one of the three, four or five lame-streams. It would be wonderful if Americans researched to see where the truth lies but that does not happen. My apology for ranting. I thought you knew these facts.
