Propaganda would be funny if it wasn't real. For all of America's imperfections, I think we're at least relatively aware of them.

Certainly people are becoming more and more aware that everything they read and watch on tv is propaganda. But I wouldn't say that the average person in the US realizes how much they're being fed.

To get news on Russia, you need to watch Western News. To get any idea of what's going on behind the scenes in American politics you need something like RT.com

Yo iceman, you work for MSNBC, Fox? Or have you just had too much American propaganda kool-aid? Third time I've seen you knock foreign news stations.

I even said it in my post, you need to look at other countries news to get an idea of what YOUR govt is actually doing. RT calls out the West on their BS and vice versa.

Obviously, you don't go to RT to hear about Putin, it's all spun.
Obviously, you don't go to US news to hear about Obama, it's all spun.

See how that works?

More military jets shot down. You'd think they'd take a hiatus for a while...
