More projection from the US. There is one country that spends by far more than any other on manipulating the global media and it’s the US, with the UK in second place. China and Russia don’t even come close.
Russian media literally ostracized and outright blocked in much of the west but somehow they waging a successful propaganda campaign, just a laughable contradiction.
I’ve always found it hilarious how people in the west are always worried about Russian and Chinese propaganda while they’re swimming in US propaganda.
The average “nonpolitical” US citizen swims in US propaganda so much that they don’t notice it unless they see a politically skinned person in a treat.
Seriously. And yet they’ll blame racist, far-right comments on being Chinese and Russian bots sowing dissent. I do find it interesting that these two countries are the source of all right-wing propaganda while right-wingers in other countries keep waving confederate flags, screaming about the first amendment, buying into Qanon, and putting up monuments for people like Kyle Rittenhouse.

There’s a funny quip from Chomsky on how the west has more censorship now than USSR did back in the 70s https://scheerpost.com/2022/07/30/video-is-u-s-censorship-worse-than-soviet-russia/
