No, its just you.
The MSmockingbirdM has been this bad for all of my life.
It is just now, with alternative media telling an alternative view that we start to see it.
The difference between soviet russia news and american news is that the americans believe it to be true.
Take this story.
After the Dixie Chicks made a derogatory statement on foreign TV about The US
everyone boycotted the Dixie Chicks and had CD burnings.
... the problem is, CDs don't burn. And i know no one who did so.
But, it was everywhere, according to the news.
Haha yeah, I remember that story going around. That's an excellent point, if CDs don't burn then somebody has been lying.
Another great point about the soviets, at least they knew the media was lying to them. They had 2 outlets only Pravda (which means the truth) and Izvestia (the news) and they used to joke that there is no truth in The Truth, and there's no news in The News.
Well, at least from what they say. You never know these days.
