The Russians would have been advised to get the cameras rolling ala Wag the Dog or Fauxtography. But they can’t be credited with being too stupid they successfully manage the MSM because the MSM is just as interested in being fooled as they don’t have to make their own incredulous leap of faith in conspiracy laden assumptions. It is like craning one’s neck at the slow motion train wreck of humanity so often captured in the National Enquirer. Lazy minds would like to veg out and watch for the entertainment value alone.
