I wouldn't have thought it that hard to figure out where Russia learned that propaganda model from.

Did we think Russians can't watch FOX or listen to AM radio? I mean, our 'PR' is clearly far more advanced, but I don't know how you can talk about all that for an entire paper and not once look in the mirror.

Are you sincerely asserting that Fox News and AM Radio started, or inspired, this propaganda model?


Take the points in the article one by one.

Which do you think FOX and the GOP haven't used to warp discourse? Not that Dems have avoided doing the same.
