there's a difference between propaganda and us telling people what our policy is so i don't think i've job is propaganda. you know my old job at the state department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist job or journalist and author daniel thinks that washington has a selective approach to dealing with the truth americans never a law and even when they lie it's not a lie because somehow it's a it's in pursuit of a higher truth and so are so stengel would never admit to admit to deceit to to painting a false portrait remember though the worse the us does terms of fall foreign policy the greater the distance from ation that that emanates out of washington the u.s. never changes the u.s. is always consistent always honest always forthright and that anybody who says anything to the contrary must have it must be spreading disinformation in behalf of russia on one hand yes the us is being more openly propagandists like on the other hand when the us does it it's not propaganda it's simply the truth and anything to the contrary is fake information and there's a for me i will be back at the top of the hour with more news you are watching o
