For Russia, RT only reports on politics and sports. (Except that anti-Putin demo that happened 2 weeks ago in Moscow because 90% of the people hate his proposed bill for changes to retirement.)

For the US, RT dilutes reports on politics with reports on every single stupid or outrageous thing happening in the US, thereby painting the US as a country where such things are an everyday occurence.

They live in another world. Haven't checked Facebook but there's been a lot of Mollie Tibbetts from my whacko doodle "friends" all week.

BTW - this story from the powerful family that owns the farm this Rivera guy worked at for FOUR YEARS stinks to high heaven. At best it's an example of the wink and a nod world of documentation for employing people in many industries but I guess the press can't cover that.

our brains store what we taken in repeatedly as information, without asterisks for where it came from. RT's agitprop messages are, of course, designed to weasel their way past what should be our intellectual protections by using liberal concerns to hit emotional triggers. As you point out, triggering grievance is a major tactic.

It’s critically important to understand how propaganda works.
Imagine living in red area and listening to this your whole life. It’s not hard to be brainwashed.

Not bad people in all cases, just lied to.

Watch “The Brainwashing Of My Dad”, and you may have more sympathy.

I wanted to give the whole picture of what Fox News believers are seeing too

Are they just reporting or suggesting or just creating a story for the reader to conjure up for themselves?

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign using Uber UBER LIBERAL is now the single most important story in the world.

The pic was of three guys who killed a pizza delivery guy and then ate the pizza.
They just had to get their mugshots on there. Nice bookend to the pic of the suspect in the Mollie Tibet's murder.

all of the people in these photos have in common? That's a tough one.

As said above, it's all about the scary brown people all coming for your old, racist, lazy white asses on your couches. Propaganda 101.

Unfortunately, defeating this is almost impossible. I'd bet most if not all of us know at least one person who's so far around the proverbial bend that he/she is totally lost to the tinfoil hat crowd.

Fox is a cancerous tumor on a free society.
