Well, which is it? Is the US media trying to brainwash people into being exclusively liberal or conservative? And you think Obama has some "untouchable cult of personality?" Well tell that to Fox News, the people you just blamed for brainwashing the US. They'll go out of their way to defame the president in any way possible.
It requires a single, authoritarian leader with control over a single government mouthpiece to spread misinformation as collectively and single-mindedly as Russia.
