If We Know This is Happening, Why Do We Let It Go On?

It was reported in the press recently that the Russians are at it again - well, they never stopped, did they?  This time around, a disinformation campaign claiming that Joe Biden is "too old" to be President, even though he is about the same age as Donald Trump (around 50, I'd guess, right?).  They are also attacking his mental health and aclarity, positing that he has gone senile.

Given that we know that, why would a cartoonist make such a cartoon?  I mean, does he relish the fact he is at the very least, a "useful idiot" for a despot who kills his opponents (Putin, not Trump - yet)?  Or is he being paid cash-under-the-table to write such dreck?  And what newspaper in their right mind publishes this crap?

Why, when we know these narratives are coming from Russia, would anyone even believe them for one single moment?

Why, indeed.
