Just think about how much fear-mongering and truth-stretching the media did back then, how much their now-obvious lies strain your credulity while reading, and realize they're still doing this! :eek:

Sadly, we only see past the lies they told back then because time and experience have proven how self-evidently ridiculous they are. but how many generations will have to pass before the mistruths we accept as Gospel today will be viewed with a similar laughing disbelief? "Wow...look at this old FOX News clip I found from 2011. These guys were stupid enough to think inflation was a good thing, and that Ron Paul would never be President? LOL!"

Media control of the population is a cornerstone of an Totalauthoritarian state.
