(32,139 posts)What a load of lying horseshit.
I want to see the budgets for propagandizing the American people, too. From the smear campaigns and the MSM propaganda, down to the brigades of lying, insulting fake personas on the internet. Representing the citizens, my ass. We are lied to and manipulated as a matter of daily routine now. This ostensibly democratic, representative nation has sunk to the level of any cheap, exploitative totalitarian state in its utter contempt for its own citizens.
