    realistically speaking our own governments are way more involved with manipulating our media than the ‘foreigners’ as people love to fearmonger about

      True enough. But even a tyrannical government at least has a presumable intent of working for the betterment of its country. (Albeit through wrongheaded and small-minded means )

      A.foreijgn power, especially a historical adversary and bad actor, is instead presumably working to harm or diminish us.

        No, they have the intent of working for themselves. That’s it. They don’t give a shit about the country and you should never presume the ruling class of your country has your country’s best interests in mind.
