Here is an article that discusses the Soviet propaganda campaign against America. My question is why did leaders like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and now Obama believed the Soviet disinformation. I knew that the Soviets were running the disinformation program. I can understand why popular but not particularly intelligent people like movie stars such as Jane Fonda believed it, but why did Obama believe it? For that matter, why did most of the people in the media accept the Soviet version of events? The Soviets themselves knew they were spreading lies, and since the end of the cold war, have admitted and even bragged about their success. Given that, I am mystified that the media and Democrat leaders like Obama continue to believe what can now be established as lies about America. Obama appears to believe the lies, because he goes around the world apologizing for what America was falsely accused of doing.
