> Russia is an existential threat to our democracy.

Where did I hear this talking point before? Oh that's right. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

That's the Sinclair Broadcast Group forcing the news orgs they own to read from the same script. They also had "must run" news segments that include conservative commentary. That doesn't mean Russia isn't a threat to democracy world wide, it just means we have a problem with mega corps owning too much media. I don't think that gives the US an excuse to spy on our own citizens however.
