70. Actually she referred to them as delivering 'real news'
and bemoaning the fact that the U.S. cannot get 'its message across'. In the face of real news reporting it is difficult to catapult the propaganda, so she wants more funding to do that. What she doesn't understand is that around the world, U.S. propaganda, eg, on the Iraq War, never worked. A vast majority of people never believed it. But their governments, especially the coalition of the willing governments, ignored their citizens.

Citizens now know how much interference there has been in their own elections, Australia and Europeans especially, thanks to Wikileaks so they are now better informed on what to watch out for. That could seriously affect getting support for our forever war campaigns from those countries should we be unable to influence their elections anymore.
