Its being downvoted for the same reason that Assange is so hated. Unfortunately most Americans are incredibly susceptible to propaganda. Its why 90% of Americans continued to believe Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 even years after the invasion of Iraq. Even for those few Americans with the capacity to be skeptical and think critically, its much easier to accept "conventional wisdom" and adopt the official narrative than to consider the possibility that our government regularly disseminates lies and propaganda. Groupthink is not only real, it is perhaps the dominant driving force in society.
