A Critic Responds

[Writings such as yours are] “the reason the world sees an
ugly distortion of American reality. Drooling proagandists like yourself,
Leftist media, educators, and politicians all work diligently at spreading
these distortions. Or maybe I'm wrong and you are just a dupe who's been sucked
into the mirage like Ekyp who, I believe, is authentic in playing his role of
useful idiot.”

 You confuse me with Bill O’Reilly. He leads public opinion
and shapes it to his own devices.
On the other hand, I report on other peoples opinions from all over the world.
What they think depends on how the USA has treated them. If the USA puts boots
on the ground and helicopter gunships in the air, the people become frightened.
When US
companies triple the prices of basic food commodities, mothers worry how to
feed their children. Nobody enjoys hearing threats that he will be annihilated.
America
may be the best country in history, but foreigners do not attend US public schools.
They receive many more US
programs than you get foreign coverage.
The US media, educators, and
politicians know next to nothing about the world outside the USA. They may
discuss foreign issues, but only insofar as they effect Americans.
