(58,785 posts)It is a major message they invested very heavily in spreading in 2016, and every year before and since for that matter.
tRump and RW propaganda also spread that toxic message. Also anti-Democratic LW groups. All depending on confusing and undermining trust in "the press," instead of identifying deceitful press, because informed people can't be fooled by deceits about Democrats.
The Democratic Party is the only significant electoral organization in our nation that is served by and depends on people to learn truth. That's why suppression of trust in honest press coverage, about both us and other groups, is a major anti-Democratic tactic.
And here their anti-press message appears on DU as part of a post offering press coverage of KGB subversion of the NRA. NPR no less. Irony, anyone?
Our nation is awash with truth and pertinent information, too much each day to identify and take in, but it's even more swamped with deceits intended to confuse and destroy ability to find and believe it.
