How would that number change if all those people had access to independent reporting?
There's an old joke about agents from the CIA and KGB sharing a drink at a pub in Berlin.
"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.
"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
Joke is going over my head can you explain?
CIA agent 'drinks the kool-aid'
Cold-war era joke, pre-suppose all us media is 'State' media
That is a truly excellent joke. I will remember that
The Trumpublicans in the U.S. have access to independent reporting, yet they choose instead to limit themselves to lies that make them feel like they're better than everyone else.
Maybe it would change but Russian culture is still Russian culture.
Seriously, you can't unshit a pool.
I don't have access to it, but allegedly on VK which is the Russian knockoff of Facebook, they also have similar numbers of a majority in favor of destroying Ukraine.
