I cannot conceive of how someone would find their ad-copy arguments convincing compared to the citations offered throughout the thread by others, myself included. Nonetheless, here’s another [PDF], and another but again I want to point out that their arguments are worthless, so the sources are beside the point. Do people really believe again that the US was broadcasting to “combat Soviet disinformation” in the Cold War rather than merely promote its own agenda, including its own disinformation, along with casting doubt on whatever inconvenient things were said by the Soviets, accurate or not? Have we fallen back into such a pathetic level of naivety about US institutions because Trump’s garishness made Democrats rally around the flag? Come on. It’s literally openly an arm of US diplomacy and publishes “editorials” that are point-for-point the State Department line on any given topic, which makes sense because it’s literally part of the State Department!
