    Could someone give a specific example of Kremlin propaganda that is being parroted by GOP lawmakers?

    He spent most of his Presidency watching himself on it.

    Hannity is a Trump advisor.

    Just google it and read about it.

    Hannity was a voice of reason.
    "In the aftermath of the deadly attack on the US Capitol last year, the rightwing Fox News host Sean Hannity pleaded with a top aide to Donald Trump that there should be “no more stolen election talk” and “no more crazy people” should be admitted to the president’s orbit."

    ‘The record also shows that Hannity was read in on the plot, and told Meadows that the planned riot wasn’t going to turn out the way Trump and his crazies thought it was going to.

    which effectively confirms Hannity’s prior knowledge as well as the fact that he had the most explosive news story in 100 years, and he hid it from his viewers in service to Trump.

    Shortly after these discussions, Fox went back to promoting the big lie, and Hammity went back to shilling for Trump. a complete reversal.

    Hannity would later refuse to testify on the matter, lest his prior knowledge and duplicity be revealed.

    The enemy? Are you proposing an uprising against "the enemy"?

    Let me summarize.

    No matter what Hannity or Fox does, the left will find something wrong with it. This is a big nothing about nothing.

    Influencing US Congress members makes sense to Putin, since he has a war to win, and US aid to Ukraine stands in the way. So, there are many Congress Reps like MTG who argue against any aid to Ukraine. Some of the more fringe propaganda pieces was the saga about "US built biological weapons labs" in Ukraine. Others are simply arguments about why US should not help Ukraine, like the "no one knows where the money goes", or "they are using the money to buy yachts", which originated from a known Russian propaganda site, and immediately promoted by Congress reps like MTG. Senator Vance (R) claimed US wanted to cut Social Security so Zelensky can buy a bigger yacht.

    Let me summarize. You know that what I posted is true, and that it is easy to document.

    So, you try and blow the facts off with some meaningless drivel in defense of a
    ‘News” organization that lies to its audience regularly, and conceals real news from you (on the assumption that you might change the challenge if they don’t tell you what you want to hear)

    And it is hardly a big nothing when a presenter like Hannity has prior knowledge of a coup plat and hides it from his audience. Not only is it a betrayal of the core tenants of journalism (which Hannity like to claim he is), but it makes him an accessory to the plot.

    No one has been convicted of a plot.

    As a journalist, he is entitled to keep his sources quiet.

    He was never a journalist. He was a right wing disc jockey who got a national audience by being one of the right wing talkers that Limbaugh packaged.

    As for being entitled to hide his sources….Hannity regularly bragged about his self described advisor role to Trump.

    ‘And, he concealed advance knowledge of the White House coup plot. One that revolved on trying to nullify an election.

    ‘As an American citizen, he had a duty to expose that.

    Pretending that betraying the elected government of the United States is disloyal, and a derilection of duty.

    Trump cultists like to hide behind the claim that no one has been convicted of the plot.

    ‘Many have been indicted. The fake electors, and Trump’s subsequent attempts to influence the vote count were also part of it.

    The documents part is another issue altogether. Trump is dead to right guilty there.

    At no time did I blame Fox. I have been talking about the almost 200 sites which have been generated by Russia for the sole purpose of disseminating propaganda. This fact has been all over the news for the past couple of months.

    I do all the time and determined your claim false long ago, but "Kremlin propaganda" has been parroted endless on this forum since 2016, and I've yet to be shown a trail from the Kremlin to GOP lawmakers. It's simply more of your faith based posting.

    Neocons screaming for more war as the money from investments in the MIC get more lucrative every time someone fires a tomahawk. Not that long ago leftist would have called such people war profiteers now they hang on to there every lie about their supposed compatriots. Watching leftist dance to their master's tune would be funny were it not so awful for the human race.

    This is a discussion between you and me. I haven't claimed that Fox has done anything.

    Nahhh, they are just calling out America's foreign threats, Russian disinformation is working on the members of their party because Trump's a useful compromised idiot and the rest are afraid of his "useful idiot" base.

    Yes because repeating lies is all democrats have. Fortunately when the lie is obvious nonsense it tends not to be believed. So Trump will win going away as all these nonsense charges blow up in the Democrat's face

    You really believe most Americans are susceptible to the kind of disinformation you are spreading? Democrats are not America's enemy, Russia is. The real question anyone reading what you are posting should ask is why you have such a vested interest in blaming one party of Americans instead of the perp, Russia? You might want to try answering that too?
