Americans grow up in a political culture in which many of them continue to believe into adulthood certain assumptions about America’s place in the world.
Chief among these is that U.S. motives abroad are to spread and defend democracy rather than to impose its economic and geostrategic interests, often through extreme violence.
Consortium News is dedicated to challenging these widely-believed myths about America with factual reporting.
Minds can be so poisoned, though, that a publication that does this is unlikely to be seen as genuinely trying to get at the truth, but rather as being an agent of an American enemy.
