For over 3 decades the GOP's base voters have been spoon fed RW propaganda from the media empires developed by a Korean cult leader and an Australian extortionist. The Left Behind series of books that became a must read for every evangelical was political propaganda - Timothy LaHaye, a once self-described 'expert' on mind-control technique, was being funded since the 70s by Rev Moon. Rev Moon, one of GHWBush's longtime 'intel' cronies. It is no coincidence that RevMoon began developing his propaganda empire in the US in concert with Bush's PUBLIC elevation in national governance. Bush already had a long time role behind the scenes in the 60s and 70s, mainly in the intel community.

Sad to say, some of the newer members of DU seem to be mostly unaware of the Moonie News media and the extent of its influence. I see articles being posted that are pure propaganda meant to disrupt Dem unity. Sometimes its directed at Sanders, and sometimes at Clinton, but it is ALWAYS aimed at the Dem party, itself.
