to spread hostile propaganda.

Anyway, if any of us know something, it's not exactly a secret. And for sure no one ever "needs to tell" our party or candidates anything because we know nothing they don't already know far, far more about. Finally getting a glimpse inside it's all over is what makes the books some eventually write so fat and juicy.

Btw, it's not just obviously dishonest and hostile articles you need to learn to watch for. Many seemingly benign articles are actually designed to be propaganda delivery vehicles, and DUers are very good at recognizing the pernicious messages hidden in them. People here are also not fooled by the laundering of propaganda through the many supposedly "respectable" sources that are actually working to defeat Democrats.
