gifty russians somehow tried to influence the americans in pennsylvania and wisconsin, it's a good story. but where is the story about our interference in elections in iran in 1953? that gives you perspective about why we have the problems that we do today with iran. what about the fact that we literally installed boris yeltsin, a fall down drunk, as the president of russia, and then bragged about it with this big giant cover story on "time magazine" saying essentially, look what we did. hey, cool, we got this drunken office to be the president of russia. so he can kind of run things over there. you know? what about the fact that we also tell only half truths. benjamin franklin said something interesting. he said, providing only half the truth is really only a bigger lie. where's the mention of the uk interference on behalf of obama? or israel's meddling on behalf of rodney? why weren't those stories that were covered by rachel maddow every single night for 50 minutes of her one hour-long show? and for that matter, can you be elected in a seat of congress without being heavily influenced
