I didn't grow up in the US; when I was a kid, we didn't have this kind of interviews on TV. For one thing, most of the TV shows they aired was propaganda, and it was so utterly boring most of us didn't bother.

Additionally, if your aim is to obscure, it's far easier to focus on the flaws of the person behind the leaks than the leak itself.

Quote Examples using Propaganda

This piece is blatant anti-Iranian propaganda, because it fails to give any context for the events of 1979. It entirely omits any reason why Americans became unwelcome in Iran. The islamic revolution occurred in Iran as a direct result of the hostile actions of the CIA, who in 1953 overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran and installed the Shah as an absolute monarch, with full authorisation from Eisenhower and Churchill. It is an entirely uncontroversial matter of historical record that the British and American government acted to prevent the establishment of democratic rule in Iran, in order to secure supplies of cheap oil. Without providing this context, the piece portrays American diplomats in Iran as hapless victims; In fact, they were active participants in the machinery used to oppress the Iranian people. Most Americans remain completely unaware of the events of the 1953 coup; This makes any mention of the '79 revolution without the context of the '53 coup propaganda, plain and simple.

And the thing is, we never believed their propaganda because it was too ridiculous. Everyone was laughing at the propaganda they heard on the radio and TV. True believers have disappeared probably the the mid 60s or so. Even defecting spies had stopped using "ideology" as the reason for their defection it was too unbelievable. Likewise might happen in US. It seems two things has happened already. They stretched propaganda vs reality difference too thin. And the Internet. It becomes harder to keep a straight face telling others about freedom, privacy, free market, human rights in light of news about torture, drones, spying etc. Also, without an ability to get access to alternative media and if Fox was the only channel available many would still thing this country was God's gift to humanity. It is just the pesky Internets that lets "domestic terrorists" like Occupy organize and share idea. Pesky little extremists forums like /r/news lets people discuss issues outside the mainstream media. On another note. There was an old joke from back in the 90's." When Soviet Union fell, we found out everything they told us about Communism was a lie. And everything they told us about America was true". Good counter-propaganda after all, is often not telling lies just telling the dark truth the other side is trying to hide.
