The propagandists more often than not are Hungarian or similar, not domestic

President Barack Obama on Friday blasted conservative talk radio and partisan news organizations, which he characterized as “domestic propagandists,” for supposedly making voters vulnerable to fake news disseminated by foreign governments to sew chaos into the US political system.

“If fake news that is being released by some foreign government is almost identical to reports that are being issued through partisan news venues, then it’s not surprising that that foreign propaganda will have a greater effect,” Obama said at the annual end-of-the-year press conference in the White House.
