Meacham: Russians Have Found a Way to Make Our Greatest Strength Our Greatest Weakness

‘It hasn’t changed yet’
By Grabien Staff

MEACHAM: “I hate to put it like this, but like all great enemies, like all great foes, they have found a way to make our greatest strength our greatest weakness, which is our essential openness in technological and digital sense. They are taking advantage of the American ethos of free expression to conduct a concentrated propaganda campaign on behalf of a particular person and that particular person’s political agenda. And I don’t know how many times we’ve said this, but we’ll say it one more time and keep doing it. The failure of those who reflexively support the President to credit this kind of information and this kind of investigation, and to allow it to then shape their view of that president and that program is one of the mysteries of the age. And it can change quickly. It changed with Joe McCarthy. It changed with Watergate. But it hasn’t changed yet. And I just think the more information like this, the more hard data, the more we’re going to have to figure out why 38 to 40 percent of the country refuses to see what is so obvious to everyone else.”
