Outsider, on issues of general interest I imagine that I am as informed as you. I read and listen to all sides, then I separate the wheat from the chaff, using my own intelligence. I am not a slave of any particular ideology nor do I hew to any dogma. I have synthesized my take on the last election from known facts. That the Russian leadership, meaning Putin, arranged for the email hacks of servers belonging to the DNC is apparently a known fact, and I trust US intelligence when they say it's known for a certainty. If you believe otherwise, it is you who is controlled by propaganda.
