> Why is it fine when Washington did it?

People generally lack critical thinking, show me public school where this is properly taught (maybe France along with mandatory philosophy?). Thats where proper education for most stops.

Tons of folks want simple reality, black and white, and obviously to be on the good moral side. Any mental gymnastics or complexity is frowned upon.

You can see it in politics everywhere, politicians ie blaming immigrants for many if not all bad stuff happening. In US Trump winning almost twice. In Russia people being spoonfed outright lies but they feel good because they make russians look better and evidently thats all that counts. I can keep naming countries with sinilar issues, the number would be very close to number of existing countries, and probably equal.

You seem to prove your own point. Is Russia really the only source of lies and propaganda in the world?
