The enemies of the USA have zero principles about truth, and fervently embrace any and all kinds of propaganda and destructive misinformation against us. It's bad to have enemies, it's worse to have smart, capable, and well financed enemies who love the fact that they can use your own freedoms and weaknesses against you. The news programs and other media are one set of openings they can use, and do, but the Internet and social programs have been a real godsend to them. It's time for our government to get as serious about this as they would be against physical threats. --Del
