but i agree someone else had to think of it. it sounds like something the russians, observers from outside of the country and familiar with propaganda operations, had to sell to him or his guys and then pass on to him. i suppose its also possible he might have not wanted to pay for it and got the russians to pay for.

i think the effect of coordinated repetition of the same material from 1200 unchallenged radio stations has widespread secondary and tertiary effects. it reaches 50 mil a week and a lot of that in 40 states/ 80 senators where there are no free easy alternatives. the primary listeners and believers spread it to the apathetic and the too-busy and everyone in rural communities was hearing the hillary lies reinforced from different sources, for instance. dinner table, bar, barber shop, checkout line, work - the alternate reality is ubiquitous

liberals have to challenge it directly in real time to get them to question and doubt the talk radio gods
